We came to Laos on Christmas Eve and tubed the infamous "Tubing in the Laos" river. It was a complete mess of bars, techno, drunks, rope swings, slides and anything that generally goes along with getting drunk on a river. (YouTube "Tubing on the Laos" and get the cyber experience). Some people have been doing this for months... It was an epic Christmas and New Years in this touristy town where you can find and do absolutely anything you want. Not to mention the terrain is completely gorgeous with huge mountains, amazing caves with underground lakes .... some creeeepy swimming. Let me tell you. We had a blast, but then moved north to Laung Prabang which was much more chilled out. Highlight: At the night market you can fill an entire plate of food, piled high as you want for 10,000 kip (approximately $1 USD). Awesome.

Most amazing waterfall Ive seen on the trip... you can walk along the ledge, looking down thousands of feet to where the water pools and overflows and pools and overflows with the most amazing tropical blue Ive ever seen in freshwater. (Lang Prabang)


On the way to one of the underground caves the "road" is a about a foot wide dirt path through the rice fields on the outskirts of town. Water buffalo everywhere... And that bamboo bridge a little sketchy on the scoot scoot.

The best view... still on my bucketlist....

Before the water falls...

Most unbelievable. Most beautiful.
