Luang Prabang, Laos

Jan 5, 2013

After two days in Nong Khiaw and a rather bumpy minivan ride, we arrive in glorious Luang Prabang. A hike up the inner-city hill (with a temple on top) is in order... ok, we obly go half-way, but the sunset views are still quite alright!

Still not a bad view from the window ... sadly the river here is too muddy for a dip, but instead we spend some hours at the local steam sauna, meeting some nice people while sitting outside in our dripping sarongs, sipping litres of Lao tea. Wellness Lao-style!

Leaving sleepy Muang Ngoi Neua by boat for the slightly bigger Nong Khiaw - thanks for a very different New Year's Eve (which the locals celebrated way harder than we did, with a 3 day all-day drinking spree). Now we'll ease back into civilisation!

Small Lao kids... the village was full of them, plus crazy many puppies, cats and baby chicken - an oasis of rural cuteness!
