Another mad week in Asia! After our two day cruise along the Mekong and an overnight stop in Pakbeng (a tiny town of 2,000 people) we finally got to Luang Prabang. If you’re coming to Laos you have to visit this place its amazing. My favourite part of the trip so far has to be swimming in the Kuang Sii waterfalls here. It was beautiful. There’s also a bear rescue centre here and we just happened to be there at feeding time. We also went elephant trekking here the following day but to be honest I didn't like the way the elephants were treated by the trainers so I didn't part-take in the training. Afterwards we went kayaking down the Nam Khan river. That was an experience I’ll never forget and will never do again. We all needed a drink after that so the Lao Lao raised its ugly head again!! The hotel we stayed in there was fantastic like something you’d see on a tropical beach. Although I nearly destroyed our room when a rouge bra ended up in the roof fan due to a laundry malfunction!! We flew to Vientiane and stayed there for a couple of days. Its the capital but not the best place to go. The best part was Sticky Fingers & Joma’s because they did western food. We were all in our element since rice was getting old at this point! Next stop Hin Boun for one night then its ‘Good Morning Vietnam’.
