My brother's visit

A few photos from Brian's visit to Laos and our travels around Vientiane and Vang Vieng

(pretty much the same as the ones on Facebook)

We had a look around Vientiane firstly and I showed Brian the sights and sites...

 

 

 

 

We took a day trip to Buddha Park - the long way 'round

 

 

 

Vang Vieng

 Then, because city life can be stressful, we headed off into the wild green yonder for a long weekend:

We went "tubing" down Nam Song

And here's a video

Floating down Nam Song 

Waterfall

We rode motorbikes up to a waterfall where kids were busking and we saw and ate some strange things

And here's video proof that we ate the rat squirrel

 Eating Squirrel

 We rode around the nearby countryside and enjoyed the people, the animals, the sunshine and the astounding scenery

 Watch this video of Brian riding a Chinese bike on a dirt road amidst amazing scenery:

We "tubed" again

This time we were the first tubers of the day in the peace of early morning

Watch this video and listen to the birds!

Early morning tubing

 Then we hired a buggy and sprayed some dirt!

Here's a video I tried to take from the passenger seat:

Back in Vientiane

 We went out with friends a few times

And then he left - to fly away home.
