Karstihuippujen kaupungissa reppureissaajat tuubittaa joessa

Laosissa tieni vei minut hedonistien paratiisiin Vang Viengiin, kuten niin monen reissaajan tie ennen minua. Vang Viengista parasta ajanviettoa on tubing eli menna joelle ja lillua traktorin sisakumissa jokibaarilta toiselle. Minulta jai tama ihanuus kokematta, koska en uskaltanut laittaa...

Locals munching on Live Stuff...

We took a very long bus journey to Vientiane, arriving at 10.30pm. Along the way, we broke down with a flat tyre and while they were changing it, Charly wandered off to find a suitable loo spot. A minute later she shouted me to come as she had found them selling weird live larvae, we only...

TUUUUUBING

WHAOOOOOO. I've been very slack in recent weeks at updating the blog. After Hoi An I traveled further north through Hue, Hanoi and Halong Bay. I'm sure all of these places would have been incredible (especially Halong Bay) but unfortunately it was bloody freezing so I rushed through....

La Capital del Tubing

Hacía tiempo que ya habíamos oído hablar de Vang Vieng, y es que el pueblo se ha hecho famoso entre los viajeros por tener una atracción un tanto especial: el tubing. Y os preguntaréis, ¿qué es el tubing? No sabemos cómo comenzó la idea de bajar río abajo con un flotador del tamaño de una...

Vang Vieng

We arrived in Vang Vieng after a 3½hr bus journey from Vientiane. We were met by the usual people trying to get you to stay at their hotel. Then Dad and Em decided we were going to stop somewhere for an iced coffee (that’s all they drink nowadays, I’m surprised they haven’t turned into one...

police, leaches and torential rain!

Bush camping 20 minutes to the north of Vang Vieng did not go well! We arrived and set up camp in a sort of forest area by the side of the road and cooked dinner successfully. It wasn’t until most of us had gone to bed after a camp fire that it started to go wrong! The police turned up with...
