A leisurely morning of coffee, breakfast and watching the sights of Vang Vieng until our tubing tour at noon. We met at the office and headed south in a open truck to the drop off location, launching ourselves into the Nam Som River.
We floated a couple of hundred metres and had a stop at a riverside bar for refreshments - most of the group seemed to favour carrying on with the float, so the stop was shorter than the tour guides had planned, we got back in the water and continued to be carried along by the slow flowing river for the next two hours.
It was a wonderfully relaxing afternoon, drifting by the riverbanks, children playing, fisherman casting their nets and a herd of water buffalo drinking and bathing. The exit point was another river bar and an chance to we enjoy more refreshments before our ride back into town.
We ate Tofu Larp and Pad Thai at Sakura 2 restaurant, followed by a visit to out now favourite dessert vendor. Meeting up again with Ramona and her friend Judith at Sakura Bar which uses the tag line: "Drink Triple, See Double, Act Single" - we had a blast dancing part of the night, mostly with exuberant young Koreans; this place still partied like the old Vang Vieng!!!
