Vang Vieng *SIGH* ....food poisoning


Still stuck in Vang Vieng, Tina got the dreaded food poisoning 2 days ago and is just starting to get over it. I escaped this time (probably due to he alcohol from the tubing :D ) We should be leaving for Vientiane in the morning fingers crossed.


I'm sure Tina will thank me for the illustration!

Road to Vang Vieng

Got the bus this morning, well mini-bus on recommendation that the bigger buses are lethal on the narrow roads to Vang Vieng. It was definitely one of the better buses we've been on in Laos. We arrived around 5 hours later in Vang Vieng...not sure what I make of this place as of yet. Vang Vieng is known as a backpacker right of passage, the place consists of "TV Bars" showing everything from Friends to Simpsons and Family Guy. We're going to hit the tubing tomorrow..in a nut shell you float 3.5 kms down the Nam Song in a tractor tube, getting pulled into various bars and going down slides and swings.
