Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang - favourite city in Laos! Best baguettes I've had, beautiful temples, great restaurants along the Mekong, and really friendly people! The night markets were amazing - I could have spent so much money there if I had room in my backpack! The morning markets were interesting - live frogs, dead frogs, live ducks, fresh meat, roasted bats, fish...Quite confronting at 7.30 in the morning on a lao lao hangover! Went out to the most amazing waterfall which had so many different lagoons to swim in - here was a Sun Bear Rescue Park where the sun bears were just hanging out in their tyre hammocks, watching everyone! Some really awesome bars here too.....DON"T have the Lao lao cocktails. One of our favourite things we did was go across the Mekong River and walk through a little village (in the mud) to a sacred cave that has damaged and decaying Buddahs. This limestone cave was amazing - there was even a sleeping monk (in a coffin) to watch over the buddahs (Or maybe it was the other way around - I can't remember!) Photos do not do this justice!
