Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang is a lovely little city, and a great place to relax after such hard biking! It is well known for all the temples (wats) and an abundance of monks. We spent our first day doing the classic Lonely Planet walking tour and took in most of the sights, followed by a long leisurely lunch in which we tasted Mekong seawood, buffalo and eggplant stew, and eggplant dip.

A night out having Lao BBQ

We went out to the most beautiful waterfalls (by scooter..time for a break for our legs!) and enjoyed a little swim time...or rather Pam, Dave and Cameron enjoyed a little swim while I found it too cold to last more than about 10 seconds. The waterfall was stunning and felt very "jungly."

So stunning! So jungly!

Checking out a wat in a random village, accessed by our scooters

The Royal Palace was fun to see for Cam and I but we had to leave Pam and Dave home with stomach troubles. Things turned around after a day or two and all should know they are both feeling better and we're able to continue our adventures!
