I'm sorry I haven't shared anything for a while. It has been a busy and crazy time.
In February 2017, I had the chance to visit Vang Vieng, Laos. Long gone are the days of the crazy river parties, but the area is absolutely beautiful. I was travelling alone, and a nice guy tapped me on the shoulder when we got off the bus from Luang Prabang and asked if I knew a hostel, so I told him to follow me because I'd already booked one. He and I quickly became travel buddies, and saw many of these sights together. The most amusing moment was when I saw the blue slide in pristine river water in the photos, and paid a dollar to go down at my own risk. It looks like a nice little kid's slide, but nope, I was tossed around and nearly turned upside-down before I hit the water, much to my own amusement. 🤣 I surfaced and everyone around us was laughing as well, and I quickly realized why there was not a line for the crazy slide.
Vang Vieng was lovely, and I'd like to see it again one day. Enjoy the photos!
