Vang Vieng

So we are today recovering from our new years celebrations. The most I think that we are going to do today is to catch sunset on the Mekong River.
The last week and some have been a blur. Laos has been relaxing and beautiful. We meet up with a couple of friends from earlier in the trip and they convinced us to skip Vientiane (which we are going back to tomorrow) and head straight to Vang Vieng. Such a good choice. Their isn't much to do in Vang Vieng except relax. We tubed down a lazy river next to the town. You have a tuk tuk drop you off a few miles from town and just float. The river is littered with bars on the banks that have big swings and zip cords over the water. Float 10 minute, stop at a bar, float another 10 minute...bar...float...bar...truly enjoyable... can't get any better.
I wish we had more time in Laos, but alas, we have to head to India so we are on our way out of here and back to Bangkok.
