Since we enjoyed our last caving experience, we decided to go kayaking and caving today… and our inexperience mixed with the relative difficulty of it and a guide more interested in asking questions about English proved to be a little trickier and nerve-wracking than before. This time we were taken to the biggest cave in Vang Vieng, which might have been awesome…except for the fact we had to climb in and out of the cave with a CANDLE. A candle! What the hell?! Not like, ooh look at me and my awesome candle-stick and candle-holder…I mean, a birthday candle (photos later.)
Well, we’re not dead…but Laos has never scored high on the whole health and safety standards thing. I mean, the fact that I have to plug my computer into a bamboo pole should say something. Everytime I type I get electrocuted. =P
Anyways, we’re off tomorrow for Phonsavan and the mysterious Plain of Jars… so long Vang Vieng, it’s been awesome.





OmG!
Just to let you know…I haven’t been commenting, but I’ve been reading every single entry. I am completely HOOKED reading about your travels. Laos? This is just too amazing. I can’t get over the plugging your laptop into a bamboo pole. XD
You’re living out my dream, btw.
Hopefully one day I will do that too. I’ll see what happens, if and when I get married…because there is NO way I’d spend my life with a man who *didn’t* like to travel!
Marina: I’m glad you are enjoying our blog. =)
As for traveling–I’m sure you’ll live your dream yourself sometime soon! Also choose your men wisely, hehe, a great travel buddy is hard to find ^.^
