Photos - Laos river life ...

These were taken at the beginning of December in Vang Vieng, Laos. You can take a tube (the inner-tube from a truck tyre) and float 3-4km down the river, stopping for a beer or two at some of the local entrepreneur's stalls along the way...

Not surprisingly - a big smile on our faces!!!

(Above) Dam, Lou, and Pi - some local girls who lived near the Organic farm we stayed at - we met them while they were diving into the current from the banks of the river, and ended up learning songs and making new songs up with them...

A local boy, who earned a living by meeting the tourist tubers a little from the end of the tube trip and helping push them onto the banks of the river. Actually, they really only pushed you a little, then caught a ride back home, but for a few Laos Riel, you couldn't say no!!!
