WOW! So Vang Vieng is amazing! I want to come back here some day with all my friends from home and party THIS hard. We all went water tubing on this river where you stop at 6 different bars along the way with free shots, zip lines, rope swings, slides and mud pits! It was just one huge party, and I met a ton of crazy travelers (while really getting to know everyone that I'm traveling with.
) On day 2 we took it easy through the day, and did a little shopping for "Yuckaflux" that night (aka mix ten 26ers of rum, vodka etc., with fruit and sprite in a huge bucket and then drink it up!!!) It was a crazy night and Janelle got SO drunk... I've never laughed so hard in my life!On day three, we all went cave tubing and swimming in this beautiful lagoon... then Shan and I got incredibly drunk on the khiak home. In fact, we got so drunk in our little boat that we paddled right onto the shore while trying to pose for a picture.. without even noticing :P We named our boat the "urban khiak" and made up rap songs all the way home. Then, we all went out for dinner and drinks and got even more ridiculous. I even tried a "happy shake" aka mushroom shake... and thought I was inside a giant bubble. Lucky for me, I've bonded pretty closely with a couple of people at this point... so i wasn't alone and tripping out. In fact, Cody listened to me ramble about my bubble for what may have been hours.
All in all, vang vieng was an amazing spot, and our bungalos were right on the water so the view across to the mountains would have been worth it all on its own. Today is our travel day to our next location in Laos; only 5 bus hours away though... so I'm happy about that! It was an awesome four days here though... and the only thing I have to show for it is this HUGE bruise on my side from trying to float pot down the river in a dry bag (I ran into a shallow spot... arg!) ooooh the memories I've made here! It shall be missed. ♥t
