Day 129 - Blue Lagoon is a good way to say goodbye

Look at that water. The fish swam away!

Day 129 - 30th October

Well, I was up early again, 7:30 am this time. It's so quiet in the morning.

We all arranged to meet at 10am for breakfast before going trekking for the day. A full English was the order with a lemon shake. Quite a nice combo with a free coffee thrown in. Tom and Jade joined us after Matt and I had finished and then the Dutch lads turned up later in casual fashion.

We reeled off topics of conversation including immigration, racism, politics and history.

We decided to scrap trekking and go to the Blue Lagoon. I'm glad we did. It was stunning. You immerse yourself in the heart of the mountains, dip in the pools and swim with the fish there. What else could you want?

We were jumping off tree branches and rope swings and just enjoy our last few hours together.

We headed to an Australian place for dinner. Everyone seemed disappointed with their choices of burgers, pasta and a salad but my falafel and Maurice's chicken pitta were really good!

We bid farewell to Matthius but I'd planned to meet up with him in Luang Prabang so it was only goodbye from me.

No less than twenty four hours later and we were back in the Sakura bar having beers. The topics of conversation reopened with some interesting choice points: toilet antics and travelling.

The night ended well with dances with Korean women and happy goodbyes to the rest of the gang. It had been an awesome 48 hours in Vang Vieng and what had started as a quiet place which was looking like a let down had finished as an awesome stop in Laos.
