Vang Vieng and the world of tubing!








Today we went a little off our normal 'modus operandi' to indulge in a well travelled route down the Nam Song river using an old tractor inner tube....


The draw of this pastime is that there are countless bars strategically placed along the river with young guys throwing ropes out into the river with the hope that you grab them and visit their bar. We met Matt, Mariska & Sofia at the first bar so it pretty much descended into mayhem from there on.
It is great fun, but can be dangerous if you don't keep an eye on the time and get back before dark after which it is difficult to see the rocks and other things sticking out of the river to knock you off the tube into the strong currents. The killer photos are on Facebook (sorry mum there are some things yu never want your parents to see no matter how old you are.........) but here are a couple of the highlights!

Thanks for looking
Hugs
