First impressions of Laos.

This morning when we were checking out of the Grand Luang Prabang, the clerk informed me that we owed $4 for the glass we broke on our first day. This is a pretty high-end place, and I have never known a nice hotel to bill for such a petty thing. At first I thought he was making a joke. As I was processing this, he got a call from the house keeper. He hung up and asked, “Where is the yellow pillow that was in your room?” Huh? What? Are you accusing me of STEALING A DECORATIVE PILLOW...

Driving Through the Hill Tribes and Arriving in Luang Prabang

For the first time on my trip, it was really hard to leave place. I loved the peacefulness of Laos and Luang Prabang had definitely grown on me. I was definitely going to miss all of the interesting travelers I met in Laos and I was even sad to part with the guesthouse staff. They were among my favorite of guest house staffs we encountered on the trip (other favorites were in Sihanoukville, Chau Doc and Paksan).I had breakfast in town and said good bye to the to the people in the Swedish and ...

Boating Into Laos

I woke early and left Charlotte in Muang Ngoi as she was planning on heading east and I was thinking of going the opposite way. I decided to head back to Luang Prabang to sort my Laundry and to catch a bus elsewhere. The guys from Muang Ngoi were also on the boat and bus back to Luang Prabang so I spent the evening having dinner with them. After we'd eaten we ended up doing a tour of the bars and even into a Laos club. I can remember vaguely dancing away before some slow cheesy love song cam...

off the boat at last!

Have sadly come to the end of the best part of the trip so far- Luang Prabang. The days have seemed to just disappear in a haze of cheap (but oh so good) massages, fresh fruit like I've never seen, climbing to the tops of waterfalls and swimming my way down, strong hot lao coffee, and lots of time for writing while watching the Mekong go by. Yesterday I went to the Tat Kouang Si waterfalls about 32kms out of town. I wasn't all that excited to be honest because saw heaps of them in Thailand ...
