Next I moved on to Vang Vieng; already heard loads of crazy stories about this place from other travellers...and to be honest it IS a crazy place!! We arrived in Vang Vieng in the evening around 8pm where we were welcomed by english guys/girls...all pissed drunk!!! The place is known for its tubing: floating down the Meking river on a truck tube while stopping at several bars on the side.
You wouldn't think you are in Laos. The entire village/city is full with drunk english and australians day in day out, almost 24/7.
Being a good tourist I wanted to see what it s all about.. so Gustavo and me went to check out the main tubing area. You have to admit the surroundings are amazing: you have the Mekong river, the great mountains, good music, all people having fun....our intentions to grab just one beer enormously failed
Next day we went exploring Vang Vieng on motorbike. In fact it is a really beautiful place with its nearby caves, waterfalls, lagoon... really nice ride!!
