Vang Vieng

Vang Vieng is a lovely little up-and-coming-queenstown sorta place. It’s nestled amongst some spectacular limestone mountains about 4 hours from Vientiane. The place is riddled with caves (probably loads to be discovered still) and will definitely become the climbing mecca of Laos. There’s just SO much rock around, so many unclimbed climbs.

We had a fairly lazy day after we arrived, not getting up to much during the day, and then went on a tubing trip down the local river. Lots of fun floating on a big inner-tube. Every 400m or so there was another stop where you could swing high and fall into the water (and drink beer). Mhairi and I both did one of the jumps – hopefully get some pics to put up at somestage.
