Finally I can write again. The blogger web page has been down for a couple of days, but is now back up running! So, what has happened? Tubing was a surreal experience, but enjoyable nevertheless. We didn't actually use the rubber rings because people had told us they weren't worth it - what really happens is that you drink, and occasionally jump in the river!
Even though I'm glad we did it, none of us felt we had to stay and do it again. It's a bit like going out to a club at home but outside and a warmer climate. So without plan or agenda we took the local bus to Vientane and hopped on the night train to Bangkok. That was yesterday. We wanted to go somewhere that combined beach life with activities, so we went to the travel agent in Bangkok and asked them to check for flights in the nearby region. She found cheap flights to an island called Panang in Malaysia; none of us had been there, and I hadn't even heard of the place, so we went ahead and booked 3 tickets. So tomorrow (Sunday), we are off yet again! Very exciting.
Peace
