Got up at 9, packed and went to book the bus back to Vientiane as we need to go to the Chinese embassy there! I arranged to meet Cat and Allie and go tubing again today but Michael wanted to leave. Checked out at 12 and went to get some noodle soup. Bumped into Cat and Allie and said goodbye! They work in Bangkok as English teachers though so when we go back there we will meet them! Koh San Road would go down a treat! Got a transfer at 1 then got on the coac...

Got up at 10, went for breakfast and chilled in the room till tubing o'clock! Dear family members, as you all know, I'm tea total! But as tubing is made for drinking and doing very stupid stuff, you won't like this blog so do me a favour and don't read it. Seriously. Walked to the tubing service centre, realised we didn't have enough money, walked back to the guest house and then walked back to the tubing place! What I hassle! It cost 55000 kip (£4.44) for t...

So didnt sleep well last night! Woke up at 7 and waited for Michael to wake up! Went for breakfast at 9 at Coffee Corner! Had a hazelnut latte which was beaut! Walked back to the room and decided to have a chill day and go properly tubing tomorrow! Watched the films The Missing and Transformers at which Michael said 'Woo, machines, cars and girls what more could a guy want' haha! Played bucking bronco with Michael till he flipped! Went to the noodle soup ...

So today's the day! Got up and had breakfast at 8. Got picked up by the pick up truck at 9. There was only one other lady on the pick up called val who was about 65! She was travelling by herself! We ended up sticking with her all day! There was supposed to be 9 people on the trip but the other 6 people didn't show up! Drove 20 minutes to the Nam Song River which is part of the Mekong River. Got out and had a kayaking lesson from Kham. Hit a guy over the head...

Got up 8.30, packed and had our last breakfast in Mixay at 9. Got on the pick up truck at half 9 and the coach at half 10. The bus was advertised at taking 3 hours but I knew it would be longer. It took 5 hours to get to Vang Veing. We got there at 3.30. Whilst on the bus we had one stop, we were both asleep for most of it but while watching the world go by I saw a woman driving a moped while breast feeding! Talk about multi tasking! Got to Vang Vieng and p...
