Laos- day 64

Day 64 Tues 10/30
We did an excursion that included a little trek, tubing through a cave, lunch, and kayaking. We had a good group of people, a couple from Bangkok, a gay guy from Australia, a blonde from Israel, and two crazy boys from China. The tubing through the cave was really cool and required headlights because it was so dark. We sat in the tubes and pulled on a rope to get as deep in as we could. One of the highlights of my day was one of the guys from China who enjoyed the tube caving in a tight pair of jockeys and also enjoyed splashing around a lot of of his tubing, running through the cave every chance he got. Another highlight of the day was running into a Korean tour group going into the cave and forming a line to get pictures with Maggie and I before they entered the cave. Those Koreans love their Meegooks (Americans). The kayaking was a lot of fun as well. Maggie took the front of the kayak and I got the back. We did have one incident where the rock got in our way and the kayak flipped. Before we knew it, our bag, waters, kayak, and paddles were all floating down the river. We survived. The Lao boat races were held I the afternoon and we caught a glimpse of the rowers and the festivities going on in town. It was a terrific last day in Vang Viene.
