Vang Vieng

---

Vang Vieng is world famous for his bar to bar adventure in a tube on the Nam Song river. Despite the beautiful surroundings that this city offers and other open air activities than the tubing, Vang Vieng stays popular and known as an debauchery city where everything is permitted. Even if at first, we were not really into this drinking tubing adventure, yet we decided to give it a try. To be honest, finally none of us regretted it. We had a lot of fun and met a lot of new backpackers.

Unfortunately, Vang Vieng stays for us a city associated with a tragic news that will change the rest of our trip. The 18th of March, we learn that our friend Ernst passed away. Following this devasting news, Florence decided to go back to Belgium to be close to her family and to be present at the funeral of our friend. Helene continued to travel with Stephanie and Thomas for a few days till Florence joins her back in Thailand.
