Kayaking was really good fun, I was in a boat with the French girl and we were about the same size so pretty well matched for paddling. The guide didn't give us any instruction just said off you go and we got into the Kayaks, they were big inflatable ones rather than the molded ones we went in in Luang Prabang but they were easy enough to paddle around. We went down quite a lot of rapids which was lots of fun although we did get stuck on lots of rocks and ram each other going down, we only capsized once in the whole day when I was steering and we got stuck on a very big rock.
We stopped off at a couple of villages on the way down, one of the villages was of Chinese descent and the villagers looked totally different to the local Laos tribes, apparently there was some fighting between the two tribes and if you married into another tribe you were disowned.
The scenery down the river was amazing and it was so quiet, it was a much better idea than walking back!
