Vang Vieng View Points

 13

We talked about going to View Point 1 and went. It was a little late when we went to View Point. We had to buy a ticket. There were two mens selling tickets. After we went beyond there, there was a small shop. There was an older woman and a younger man in the shop. We bought a bottle of water from it.

We took it and started climbing. Why didn't anyone help us after buying the ticket? We had to climb the mountain to go to View Point. It is a steep mountain with many hills. The climb is difficult, just like in Sri Lanka. You sweat. On top of that, it rains. But since it was evening, there were a few people. We climbed slowly.

Up
When we climbed up, we could see a beautiful landscape of about 300 degrees around. We could see the underworld below. We could see the fields and roads. It was raining as we went up. I took off my shirt and let it dry. It wasn't raining hard, just a little. There was a shop at the top. I looked for a way to drink some tea, but they said there was no way to light the stove because of the rain. I put the idea of ​​boiling tea aside. There was an old go-kart nearby, and a friend got on it and started taking pictures.

Next, we got off. We talked about going down to see Blue Lagoon 4. Blue Lagoon 4 was right there.

The water that falls from the mountains in these valleys has a strange greenish-blue color. That's why the water in the small reservoirs where that water comes from is different in color. So we went to Blue Lagoon 4. The blue water is deep. Our friends climbed up and jumped into the water. There were also times when they hung on ropes and went like a zipline and jumped down. They were really fun. We went to Blue Lagoon 4. That means there are several other Blue Lagoons in Wanwien.

An American family had come with three small children. They must be in grades 4-7 of Montessori and school. The children were jumping and the mother was taking pictures from a distance. The father was encouraging the children to jump by saying things like "If you are thinking, you will lose your ability to jump". These children are not even five feet tall, but about ten meters high and the parents are encouraging the children to jump.

After that, we came to Wanwien. When we arrived, we went to a pub there. Cocktails etc. are not very expensive. Cocktails are available for three to four hundred rupees in Sri Lankan money. So, after having a cocktail and watching the various drinks that have come from different countries, we came to the accommodation for the night.

There are a lot of young people among the tourists who come to places like Vanvien. There are also people from China and Korea. The Chinese have a special kind of fun in their karaoke centers called KTV. The Koreans go to clubs and pubs where ordinary white people go and have fun.

There are also various types of massages in Vanvien. I thought that those massages were just massages. Lao massage is a bit hard. They climb on you. They push and pull. Some massages offer additional services. They charge separately. The massage I went to was just a massage. I got a good massage to relieve the tired legs from hiking in the mountains during the day.

I went to a restaurant where there were a lot of people, thinking that the food would be delicious. Oh my. I had to wait there for about an hour for the food to come. Since we don't have the facilities to cook and serve food like in our country, it takes a lot of time to prepare and serve food. If there is less staff, it takes even longer.
