sweet ride

---

The boat trip to Luang Prabang is 6 hours and going on our last experience, we go for the public bus, 40000 kip each ($5). The locals are waiting with all sorts of packages from grain to vegetables. Nothing alive thank god!

Our bags piled on top, the bus at full capacity; with Lao music blaring, we climb into the back seats and bump, rattle and roll our way up and down the countryside to Luang Prabang.

Great for one’s soul but not so good for one’s posterie.
