Vang Vieng
Â
Lots to write about the last few days but don’t have my notes. We took the night bus from LP to Vang Vieng last night and spent the day kayaking, caving and tubing. The river here is in stark contrast to the trip we did a few days ago. This place is full of tourists and the river is like mexico spring break with river bars and hundreds of drunk tourists floating down in tubes and jumping from the bamboo structures over the river. We have found a bungalow on the river which is basic but only 40,000k so and it is away from the main town on an island you access it by bamboo bridge which swings a little on the way across. On to Ban Na tomorrow a village in a National Park where we have hired a guide and are staying at a homestay. We will do some trekking and hopefully see the wild elephants.
