Day 43-45: Luang Prabang

Nov 25-27, 2014

Drove to Luang Prabang through beautiful mountain scenery.  Started and ended back on #13 where there were many big potholes - both of us went right through a deep one, glad to come out the other side without tire punctures, but most of the way was on a new road.

Luang Prabang is a beautiful Unesco World Heritage site with temples and monks everywhere, the Nam Khan and Mekong Rivers to the north and west, colonial buildings, cafes and restaurants that feel like you're in Europe and a big walking market every night.  Went out to the stunning Tad Kuang Si waterfall with its pools of brilliant blue water and had a swim to cool off.

  1. Isn't the water at Kuang Si amazing? I remember swimming there. I hope to return to Luang Prabang one day.
