Beautiful view of Veng Vieng from our hotel

Beautiful view from the river!

Hello! We got back from Vang Vieng yesterday, and spent another night in Luang Prabang to get our Visas for Vietnam. Vang Vieng is a beautiful but insane place. Tubing is the local activity dominated by tourists/drunken partiers. It was a lot of fun, but I could only handle two days of it! You simply rent a tube, drift down the river and wait for someone to throw you a rope with a bottle on the end of it to pull you into their bar. Excellent. I met loads of fun people and had a super time. The drive to and from Vang Vieng is amazing. The scenery is gorgeous and it was great to drive through the villages and see how the locals live. People mostly live in little huts, some on stilts by the road side. LOADS of animals running around and lots of baby animals. Pigs just walk around like dogs (not masquerading as labradors, but roaming freely) with piglets not far behind. We were going a "little" too fast to take pictures, but I have the memories! Off to Vietnam tonight and REALLY looking forward to it!
