My diary
For the last couple of days, I've been living it up in Vang Vieng. Although I was pretty sure at times in the journey here, that I was going to fall to my death off a cliff in a minibus. And the locals knew some stories that I didn't as all 3 of them were grasping on the handles tighter than I am with money! I also smashed a personal record, taking over 3 hours to realise the fellow chicken passenger...Being a party central, Vang Vieng is famous for it's tubing (basically a bar crawl down a river in rubber rings) and I was sucked into the activity by my other hostel-goers but what a ball of a time I had! And to finish the day off, we had dinner in "Gary's Irish bar"; bangers and mash with steamed veg and gravy accompanied by an Irish acoustic set by no other than Gary himself ...Lordy lord was I in heaven. I have found myself still, after a month of travelling, struggling to remember that toilet roll can not be flushed down the toilet and feel a rush of guilt everytime I forget, although I can think of better disposal techniques than an open top bin, I mean boy does that produce some rather exotic fumes...as for the bum gun, what kind of alternative is that?! On a completely different note, I found an amazing cave today.
