We went on an Elephant Trek near Luang Prabang and I got to sit and steer from the (very scratchy) head. It was good fun. Later on we did some shopping in the stunning night market. It's a truly wonderful town and one of Lizzy's favourites in the world.
Next up we hit Vang Vieng and went 'tubing'. This involves floating down the stunning river in a tracter inner tube, and stopping at bars along the way for (usually alcoholic) refreshment. After some Dutch courage you can then ride huge waterslides and rope swings into the river. Lizzy was the first of the day down the waterslide and made quite an impression on both herself and all watching. My attempt created an even bigger wave.
However, all the fun/bad food in this town left Lizzy rather sick and thus we had a few rather dismal days of being fed up, tired, ill and wanting to go home. Eventually we settled on heading to Koh Phi Phi, Thailand, for a few days before heading home.....
