day 206, Vang Vieng

IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!! Woke up with a banging headache, got a baguette and hung around the hostel with everyone. The idea of first just tubing down the river then going back  minus the tubes to drink soon went out the window and elected just for the drinking part. Everyone looked a fucking state, either in vests or bad outfits, children’s orange dresses, capes, hot pants and lots of writing and spray paint. We got a tuk tuk down and to the first bar, I was feeling rough so necked 3 litres of water before getting back on the beer and sharing other people’s buckets. It was a lot of fun, played flip cup and danced a lot, we went to 3 bars and everyone had a blast. No-one got messy, just lots of dancing and raucous laughter. I didn’t even get in the river, was in no fit state, though some people did the zip wires and jumped off but that shit looked crazy. We went back when it got dark, showered and went out for dinner, back to the hostel to chill out while some people had crashed out. It felt a hell of a lot later then it actually was, I walked to a bar around 10 but had no energy and couldn’t fufill my milk craving so called it a night. Incidentally people who crashed out around 7pm woke around midnight to head back out, with the hardcore trudging in around 8 the next morning, folk be crazy! Merry Christmas everyone, hope you had a grand day! X
