Luang Prabang, Laos: 23-24th Nov 04



Yesterday morning we had breakfast on the riverside in Vang Vien, then caught the bus to Luang Prabang. For most of the journey we could see amazing views of the hills and valleys, and we enjoyed it. But then it got dark and the journey went on for 3 hours longer than expected which was very annoying!

We arrived in Luang Prabang and checked into our bungalow, where we’ll be staying for the next 5 nights.

This morning we had a look around town. Luang Prabang is Laos’ premier tourist attraction – A small city on a peninsula between the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, surrounded by hills. Most of the buildings are from the French Colonial period and there are dozens of temples. In 1994 the whole old town was made a UNESCO world heritage site. It really is a stunning place.
