We arrive in Luang Prabang after yet another scary bus ride winding up the mountain roads, this time there was 13 people in a small mini van, as you can guess plenty of leg room for us lanky people!

Luang Prabang is a really pretty town in the mountains very french looking, like most the Asian towns we have been to it. It has a huge night market selling hundreds of touristy things at really low prices - I wish I had a bigger backpack! It also funky bar street away from the main road where all the backpackers hang in the evenings. Although we were still recovering from our boozy antics in Veing Vang to didn't manage to party too hard!. We did manage to find a great deal for dinner - an all you can eat vegetarian for around 50 pence each the owner nearly died when he saw how high Mykal staked his plate. We also met up with a few guys we me in Veing Vang, who were nice to see again, although we seem to bump in to many people that we have seen as far back as Vietnam!

Luang Prabang is home to some very beautiful waterfalls which we manage to go and see and swim in which were lovely until the fish started attacking our feet! there's also lots of trekking and elephant rides but we're saving that for Chiang Mai, our next destination!!
