Van Vieng - 20th Feb

the hills here in Van Vieng here are mostly limestone hills and there are lots of caves to explore around the area..

if you are a person not wanting to get wet tubing or kayaking.. maybe you like to scale this limestone wall...

spiderman in action..

this part is pretty deep..

its awesome floating in the tube looking up the sky and the mountain view..

kayaking here can be quite interesting.. i guess they take only 1/3 of my time to reach town..

you can choose to do kayaking instead of tubing..

beautiful backdrop...

floating in this calm waters is so relaxing..
not an advertisement ok..

taking home my only souvenir.. a beerlao short glass found in the water..or have it at the 'serambi'.. this are actually pubs catering to passer by along this river..

haa.. how bout a cold beer with your legs in the cold water..

ohh... I juz love this set up.. though not a single soul now in the morning.. was told the crowd comes in btwn 3 to 6pm..

hey.. don't fall asleep.. as you will float all the way to the Mekong to Vientiane and into Thailand without clearing your passport.. haha

these long polls (about 6 to 8 meters) for you to do a trapeze.. you swing and plunge into the waters.. ofcoz the deeper sections of the river only..

nice clear waters.. mostly shallow waters..

ahhh.. it's 9am now and the water is too cold for me..

this is about 3 to 4 hours in the waters..

this include sending you 4km upstream and leave you to drift back to the town..

something one should do here.. there is a 'tubing shop'.. thats what they call here.. you rent a lorry tube for SG3/ each.. make sure rent a water proof bag to stuff your camera in..

breakfast at bout 7.30am...

food outlet starts pretty early..

what a colourful, relaxing, and a casual place here.
