The rest of my time in Luang Prabang I spent wandering the streets, shopping and seeing a few of the sights in town. Sitting by the river at dusk sipping a cold drink was a great way to spend the sunset and cool off at the end of a hot day.

Here are some pictures of town to give a sense for what it is like...
