It’s the second stop in Laos: Vang Vieng.
Each year I like to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day the proper way. Surrounded by friends, enjoying eachothers company and a beer or two (or three).
This year I decided to take it to a whole new level when I heard about Tubing in Vang Vieng. Essentially, you rent an inner tube and float down a river; stopping in at little bars along the way. It was a superb day.
As drowning wasn’t in my itinerary – I kept it to one beer this year. The beautiful views around me were intoxicating enough.
I can’t wait to go tubing, like you though I need remind myself in the morning to take it steady with the drink, I’m looking forward to it but I don’t want it to be the end of my trip.
Everyone looks like they’re having such a great time. By the way Brock have you lost or put on any weight since your travels have begun? My guess is you’ve lost. I know I would if I was eating some of the items you have!!
@Shelly – Yes, Shelly, It was a ton of fun. Quite different from most of the other ‘backpacking’ I have done but nice to switch it up of course. In terms of weight, I am gonna go with you in that I likely lost wait. How much? No clue. But it can’t be too much because I didn’t really have anything to lose to begin with.
@Poi – Yes, I think that’s a good mindset to go in with. You can tell right away the ones that are toying with danger. Oh and get the tube. Many will tell you that you don’t need it or its not worth it. You can’t go to Vang Vieng and then cheap out on the Tube. Leave yourself and hour or two just to float down to the end of the river. I wish I had.
Haha Mr. Tough Guy!!
