Tubing down the river

Day 18 - great fun great fun. A lot of people came to Viang Vien was for the tubing going down the Nam Song river. Chilling out on the tube, dropping by to different bars along the river n the robe swing.

It didn't rain. SUPER LUCKY!! Early in the morning we went, i was the no.22 tuber. No good. imagine only 20 something ppl floating down the big river, how fun would that be. So, we floated a bit, popped up to one of the bars n waited.

More and more people came in the afternoon. The current was strong. Several times i nearly got flushed away. My impractical bikini wasn't very ideal for such great strong current. they were all over the place when i tried to climb up to the shore. The bar people would throw a robe to you n you had to grab it. if you missed, you down with the river. I never managed to grab the robe myself... man's job.

It was real good fun watching people doing swing dive. i didn't dare to as they were very high (4-5 stories high at least). i went up but walked back down. chicken!! i did the slide thou. it was good fun. as high as the swing where i jumped but never as high as the swing.

It was a good way to meet people and make friends. We met some Irish people and several other people from different countries, chili, australia and england. A very chill out in the bars, very exciting and freezing cold on the river day.

Apart from the fun, the scenary was stunning along the river. lime stone mountains, blue sky, greeneries, very beautiful background, allowed me to take some good pix. Feeling tired after a 5-6 hours tubing on the river...
