Well we arrived in good order after a long drive of seven hours.Arriving Vang Vieng we asked around about the tubing.Serveral people told us that the river was very low and the tubing was slow and hot so we decided to Kayak instead.So bright and early the next morning we loaded up and headed to the local cave system where we were outfitted with an old moped battery and a two candle power light.
We entered the cave through a small slit between the water and rocks pulling ourselves along by a rope till we were well inside.We all joined feet to tube and paddled thrught the dark checking out the inside of the huge cave.Turning around we headed back out for our lunch and a briefing of the Kayak trip.
Again the river was low so we were driven down a couple of miles and put in the water and sent on our way.After a Km or two we arrived at drunk central with bars on both sides of the river.Each bar tries to get you to stop there by throwing out lines to pull you in.The music was thumpping and the river banks were lined with revelers all watching as the next nut swung by a thirty foot swing or zip line or even a back breaking side. We opted to hang on till later arriving at the last bar.
Now this was interesting they offered Special shakes with mushroom and happy shakes with pot. At least they told you that(ask me when you see me).Joy and I had a drink and headed to the thirty foot high trapezee where we tried our new found courage(video to follow). After a couple close drownings we headed back out to our Kayak and mede our way back to our hotel.Loving every minute of our day.Tomorrow we are off again and will upload videos when we get good internet.So til then take it easy.Keith and Joy
