Luang Prabang, a world heritage site, how exciting! I know that there are no pictures of the city but it was lovely. It felt more like Europe than Asia though - it was after all under French rule for quite a while in the 20th century. It was quiet and the streets were pretty calm, ie: you could walk across the street without it being an adventure.
We stayed for about five days. It was a good place to relax and collect ourselves after over a month of moving and moving. We had a good time in Laos. It was a country that we knew very little about before arrival and it treated us well. We learned a bit of culture, a bit of language, saw some art and heard some music. What it lacks in Pizazz it makes up for in kindness and natural beauty.
We're writing this from Hanoi, Vietnam. We are about to board an all night train south to Hoi An for a few days before we head to Ho Chi Minh city and then to the island of Phu Quoc. We'll try and keep you updated. Ciao.
The water looks amazing and I am envious of your bus trip with the chicken! Post some city pics of Luang Prabang if you can at some point please. I am curious. Thanks for the update. Be safe...DAD

ReplyDeleteHello brave cave explorers, must have been quite a leap of faith to take the currents into a dark cave- but I am gathering there have been no shortage of courageous leaps on your adventure thus far.
ReplyDeleteThe water experiences on your journey are inspiring.
I hope you are enjoying Vietnam. Do you have your notes from Kristin?
Is the presense of Kuan Yin, the goddess of compassion, strong there?
