A day of highs

The slow boat ends in Luang Probang which is a very different town to those in Thailand. Very quiet, very laid back and although full of guesthouses, it's not a very touristy town which is nice.


The view from high above the river bank
The various Wats, markets and temples make for an easy time finding somethng to do. Utopia is a beatiful restauraunt on the banks of the Nam Khan. The veiws are fantastic but from a platform 25m up a rope ladder they were spectactular if very difficult to climb.A perfect sPOT for lunch (get it... sPOT....nevermind)

We finished our day at the Phousi Stup. A temple high on the moutain overlooking Laung Probang and providing a great spot to watch the sunset.The Phousi Stupa

Tomorrow is another bus journey towards Vang Vien for some tubing. Should be interesting.
