Vang Vieng day 2

Got up fairly early this morning to get a tuk tuk with a group of other hostel goers to one of the blue lagoons. There's about 6 I think, the further away from town you get the more pristine they are, but less infrastructure they have around them. We went to number 3 which had a happy medium of the both. It was about a 40 minute drive along some seriously bumpy and pot hole ridden roads, but it was worth it, @# when we arrived at 9.30 we were some of the only people there. The water so lovely and blue, very refreshing, and this time the fish didn't nibble your toes. There was tubes you could bob about in, and a rope swing and zip line you could use to jump in. I did attempt the rope swing, but as predicted before I got on, my arms were not strong enough and I fell off before making the full swing 🤣
I could've stayed there all day, there were little wooden huts you could lay out on, and a cafe I got a very delicious mango smoothie from! But one of the girls had a train to catch so we headed back around lunchtime.
After lunch and yet another afternoon nap, I popped down the road to a fancy hotel I had booked an outdoor sunset yoga class with. We grabbed mats then walked down through town, over a small rickety bridge, through a field with horses in and then into a rice field, where in the corner stood a wooden hut on stilts. The walk itself was picturesque, but as we set up our mats on the wooden floor, we overlooked the sun setting behind the mountains which was pretty cool. It was a pretty simple beginner level yoga session, but with the walk over and the heat combined , it felt like a hot yoga session and was very sweaty. Nevertheless, it was still very relaxing, the sound of cow bells rang through the field with the occasional rumble from a paramotor overheard.
After the session, we got to use the fancy hotel infinity pool, which was a little slice of luxury. Then grabbed some food on the way back, and was an early enough night in.Read more
