We got up early as we were getting picked up at 8.30am to go to Vang Vieng. The big challenge was to try to fit everything in our bags! With a lot of squeezing, we managed it! We went to the bus station and saw our VIP bus! Not too sure what was VIP about it!
We got on board and started our journey to Vang Vieng. The scenery was lovely! Mountains everywhere! We think that it was only 140km, but it took 8 hours because the whole journey was around the mountains!
We got to Vang Vieng and looked for a room, they were much cheaper than Luang Probang. We opted for the very same hotel that Paul stayed in when he was here! Very bizarre! We even treated ourselves to a balcony!
We went out for dinner and a wander around town. It's a funny little place, with a lot of character. All the bars have cushions and low tables, and they play repeats of Friends and Family Guy.
We stayed out late and went back to sit on the balcony, where Sarah had a few too many rums before bed!
Today we've had a very relaxed day. We had a lie in as the bed was really comfy, then made our way to breakfast! Then we picked up some tubes and a tuk tuk took us a few miles up the river. We then spent a few hours floating back again! The sun was shining and it was so pretty with all of the mountains. It's changed a bit since Paul came as there were lots of loud bars along the side of the river when he was here. Apparently, they were all closed down as 27 people died in one season!! It was very peaceful and we got to work on our tans!
When we made it back, we had a late lunch and stayed until the sun set!
