Bokeo, Laos: The Gibbon Experience

Finally to the Zip-Lines!!! This Gibbon experience was recommended to us by some of my Danish friends. I am so glad we decided to go because it was a wonderful experience. We slept in tree houses and zip-lined around the jungle all day. The views were stunning!!
Finally we got trekking through the thick jungle. This trek was much more jungly than the last, with much more water and moss. There was also tons of bamboo everywhere. Here we are standing by a huge patch of bamboo shoots.

Barney took this one of us. We were having a great time trying to hold on for dear life!!!


The drive to the Bokeo Reserve was a bit frightening we passed over water and weaved in and out of mountains. We did make it alive though. We also met some Brits on our way up. Emily and Barney rode in the back of the truck with us. They were newlyweds on their honeymoon. They got married in Chiang Mai on a whim. They were very nice and I love their accents. There was also another couple from Britain named Will and Tamara along with a Canadian named Andy.Before we left for the Gibbon Experience Nic made a friend at Breakfast. This guy climbed right into his lap. He was so cold and was sad when we had to go. We had some scrambled eggs, baguette and some strong Lao coffee for 2 bucks. We met some Finnish guys who were also doing the Gibbon experience but they were in the other group.
