Day 256 & 257 - Hungover in Vang vieng

The anniversary is well & truly over.
The hangover is terrible & so is the 8.30am alarm that goes off to make sure we take advantage of the inclusive breakfast.

After breakfast we go back to bed until 11.30am, when the second alarm goes off. It's time to pack & check out of our $30 AUD, nice accommodation & walk 300 metres down the road to the Army barracks back packers, where we have booked the next 2 nights in a simple,  cheap, private room.


























Straight after checking in, we walk across the road & order lunch which was a vegetable red curry for me & Tom got a clear noodle soup with vegetable. The food is really good, crazy cheap & the lady who works there is really nice.
We haven't got much planned for today except hiding away from the sun in our room, so its highly likely that we will be back for dinner.

There's no surprises at all when at 8pm, we're back eating dinner at the same place.

It's been a really quiet day. Tom has napped & watched TV, while I have done the blog.
Tomorrow promises to be less boring.

The following day was a repeat. Lots of Netflix, coffee, mango smoothies, curry's & blogging! I Have finally managed to catch up with all the blogs.  What a relief! I haven't been up to date since Mexico.
























The main attraction in Vang Vieng is the river & the adrenalin type sports. They offer rafting, tubing, caving & zip-lining, which are all things Tom & I have done before.
As we get closer to the end of our trip, the money is starting to run low & we are only considering doing the activities that we haven't yet done somewhere else around the world.
We considered doing the rive tubing through the caves, but the Australian government has a warning against it because of the repeated fatal accidents in the river from tubing. We're very happy to give that a miss!
Combine this with the heat & it's very easy for us to talk ourselves into having quiet days.
