We have been having a great time in Vangvieng! It is a really great outdoors place to hang out with the town situated in a valley with a lovely river flowing through the town and steep cliffs bordering one one side.
We met up with a great group of people and spent a few days tubing the Nam Song river (which seems to be what most people who go there do).
For a small fee the locals provide you with a tractor tube each and arrange for you to be dropped a few km's up the road from where you can float back down the river to town for the day. Along the riverbank there are small stalls set up selling beers and food, and some have even been set up with bamboo platforms with ropeswings and flying foxes that you can use. Great fun and theres nothing like a little bit of danger leaping off a 7m high platform drunk whilst in a remote SE Asian town :) Thankfully no accidents for anyone we knen :p
We are back in Vientiane today and have booked a posh lunch in a hotel here for Christmas lunch. I had better now go and feed Ange as she is 'starving to death' as I write this...
