Kayaking in Vang Vieng
Today we went kayaking. Joe wanted to go on some massive rapids but unfortunately it's dry season and all the rivers are really low. So we opted for a more sedate days kayaking.
Joe managed to persuade them to let him use the guides play boat and I had to share a sit on top with an american girl named Anna.
The river was, as promised, pretty flat although there were a few little drops that made it a bit more interesting. The area was amazing with big limestone cliffs all around us. We stopped off a few times along the way to go in some caves.
These also were pretty amazing and unlike the ones in Halong Bay, they seemed to be left as they were found, no lights or pathways.
At one point we were just paddling along and I spotted a heard of Water buffalo in the water. You could only see the tops of their heads and their horns sticking out. I think they had some calves with them because when they saw us they got into a defensive huddle with the biggest one rising out of the water. It was time to paddle on.
