Feb 6 - Awoke to a great sunrise over the Mekong and islands. Before it got hot out I ran the perimeter of the island. Ran into the Swedish couple I climbed with and a couple other people I meet in Vang Vieng. Got a great breakfast with Chen and Tom at the cafe Rouge then moved my stuff to "Mama's" place on the sunset side of the island. Two reason for the move. 1. Closer to all the action on the island which isn't much. 2. The swimming is better. Rented a bike for the day and rode to the island of Don Kon and the waterfall and beaches. Later went to dinner with the Tom & Chen as well my climbing buddies Hanna and Martin. Chen lead us in a Jewish prayer to start the Shabbat. Ended the night with Reggae bar.
