On the River

Vangvieng is a tiny little town about 1/3 of the way between Vientiane and Luang Prabang. Its sole raison d’être is adventure trekking: I kayaked down the Mekong River, floated down it in an inner tube twice, and went whitewater rafting (all for the first time). Unfortunately, because water and digital cameras really don’t mix, I only got to take photos from our stopping-points… (Needless to say, one cannot replace digital cameras in Laos!)

As usual, clicking on any thumbnail will get you to the larger photo.
