Vang Vieng

After a long and bumpy (but only 160 km) minibus ride from Vientiane, I was excited for the outdoor offerings of Vang Vieng, which is crouched low on the Nam Song River. Unfortunately, the outer bands of Typhoon Mangkhut were also in Vang Vieng. Instead of tubing and ziplining, I spent a few days catching up on some good western fare.

Since Vang Vieng gets so many backpackers, the selection of italian, mexican, and german food is pretty good!

Of course, the weather started to clear up by my last evening...just in time for another long, bumpy ride to Luang Prabang.

Ready for the sun to come out!
