We bussed down 3 hrs to cang vieng where Keith promptly fell ill after Mairi. =( we stayed at pans guesthouse. The owners were very nice and there was a decent restauraunt attached as well as fee drinking water supplied! We paid about 25000 kip each ($3)! And had a double bed and bathroom with hot shower... Laos accomodation can be so cheap it's awesome!
Vang vieng is well known for its many caves to explore, rock climbing, biking, and tubing.
Mairi went to the smaller, closer caves with some friends from Nelson and after a couple days Keith was feeling better so we all floated down the river.. It was so nice but apparently it's changed a lot since the party days. There were 2 riverside bars ( we weren't into getting sick again so we didn't stop) and all the water slides had been ripped down. Te night life in vang vieng was still pretty crazy tho. So many Koreans going crazy gangnam stylin'!!
Then we rented motorbikes to explore the much larger and completely dark blue lagoon cave. It was awesome we spent a few hours finding our way around with headlamps and "spelunking" or just climbing through small holes in the rocks...
Didn't do any rock climbing , ran out of time and were scheduled to catch a 21 hour sleeper bus to southern laos... The 4000 islands!
Mairi met up with some friends from Nelson ad went to the closer caves
