Damn! A cramp in the water would have me getting all panicked! Bonus confession, I am terrified of open sea, I just don't like the idea of not seeing what's under me.

Really!! No way... would you ever consider swimming lessons and gradually getting into it? Are you guys close to the sea there in France?
Nope, just not my thing at all. But it's very specific, I am talking about REAL open sea, far away from the shore. It just too open for me...
I did scuba, on the coast, and also bodyboarding, and it was fun, but at the end of the day I am a river dude!
Ah ok, I'm with you.
Ya, I can understand that. That's a rational fear, rivers are sweet too. My fondest river experience was tubing down the Nam Song river in Vang Vieng in Laos in 2007. That was wild!! They basically drive you ten miles upstream and give you an inflated tire tube. You jump in and float down stream, but there are little bars dotted along the river on both sides where you stop off for beers or Laos whiskey. It was pretty nuts to be honest, but such good fun. Laos is probably one of my favourite countries in the world, at least back then anyway - beautiful salt of the earth locals.
DUde!! Do you miss your crazy trips over the world? I am sure you had to slow down a little since the kids...
I've heard Laos Whiskey is disgusting and way too strong, is that true? Or was it Thailand? I can't remember...
Ya the kids have slowed us down for sure and by the time they are older, we'll be a bit old for backpacking!! 👴👵
We'll still travel though, as we love travelling and seeing different cultures and all that comes with travelling to new places.
To be honest, I was young and foolish and would have drank whatever was put in front of me!! The whiskey I remember is from Thailand and was called Sangsom... it was looper juice and they'd mix it with M150 (similar to red bull) and coke and a load of ice in a beach bucket and you'd drink it on the beach... Great times and memories 👍
