Tubing in Van Vieng...Laos (Terry's entry)

Here's a few pics I pulled off my friends facebook of our tubing days and chilling in Vanvieng, Laos....more pics to come (when I can get a cable for my little camera)

Tubing...what an amazing day. You basically take a rubber innertube down a river and along the way stop off at riverside bars for drinks...then get back on the river again!!! Very messy!!!

Here are the tubes! Beautiful mountains all around, lots of bars to get drunk in as you can see on the right hand side in the pic






One thing I failed to mention....you do MASSIVE (I mean 20-40foot) monkey swings and zip lines into the river...whilst drunk...and then get back on the drinking/tubing!!! MENTAL OR WHAT!?! Health and safety would have a field day


Check out the height of the mummas! That was my mate Jimbo doing it...the guy's a legend!

One person did have a serious accident the day after we went and ended up falling on top of an unsuspecting Laos dude, seriously damaging both of them!!!



I had to wear a t shirt for one part of the day for fear of getting burnt...but it didn't last long (the fear that is) as the Bear Lao kicked in!!!! We played an awesome card game with Jim (the other dude in the pic) and his wife Janie, called Kings...LOVED IT!!!


This is wellllll before Jen was mega sloshed on the bear lao and buckets and free lao lao whiskey......she looks fit as usual!!!

....and Janie (Jim's wife) is in the piccy. These guys are a mega cool Canadian couple that I think we're gonna go live with for a while...but dont tell my mum cos she doesn't want me to go...haha


This is the fantastic bar (NOT) that gave us food poisoning we strongly suspect...thanks bar Sunrise...you rock!!!! NOT!!!!! On this occasion, just dont go veggie cos everyone else was fine except for the two veg heads at the table (jen and I)


The second thing VanVieng has to offer is chilling...big style! This is a bar called Sakura that we nearly got a job at. You basically have your dinner, chill on a bed style area, watch a film on a massive screen and then chill some more


Or you can get drunk some more, haha

Hey troopers

I wanna go tubing, that looks absolutely amazing!! I wonder if we can bring into english society, floating down the thames maybe?

Suit sounds great Tel, sounds liek your gonna be stealing my thunder! haha

Hays told you about our house didnt she, seriously cant wait, i'm patient at loads of things but i'm already feelin impatient and we only bought it monday, so got weeks of waiting for damn solicitors to do their searching!

Jimbo and Janie sound really cool and looks like you guys had an awesome time in these pics!

Sorry some parts of the countries see you and think of the money, but i guess it happens everywhere to a certain extent, its not nice tho and must of been magnified cos of your tiredness!

Keep enjoyin, when u get back me and hays will be home owners! scarrrrrrry!
