Still in Vang Vien, and happy to be. I've pretty much settled here: dinning at the favorite spots, frequenting the favorite bars, all the product of quickly settling in to this friendly place filled with unlimited adeventure opportunity.
We leave tomorrow morning for Luang Prabang. Today is an off day: we napped, and read our books in hammocks overlooking the mountain range and the river which we tubed down the day before. That was a great day.
I'm sad to say goodbye to this place. I'm sad to leave the great side-of-the-road food stalls, where two beautiful Laos women cooked me breakfast each day, lunch on occasion, and dinner when I wanted huge, cheap and tasty appetizers before a more expensive meals with my friends.
We rented tubes to laze on the river in. Picture this: 6 of us floating down the slowest river on the planet occassionally stopping at a bar for a beer, shot of Lao Lao (the really bad bad Lao rice whiskey), maybe a swing on th rope swings, maybe a game of sand volleyball, maybe more floating; and you've pictured perfection.
Now we'll go for dinner with my ladies, then go for a hike to watch the sunset from atop this mountain we heard about.
