Progress

Last couple of days have been spent hanging around Luang Prabang. Pol told me that when she had been here last year, it was her favourite town - and now I can see why. It really merits its World Heritage Site status - an old French colonial town and also the main hub for Buddhism in Lao, every turn you make, you come across another beautiful sight- monasteries, temples, old French architecture and French cuisine. Lovely. Its also the confluence of two important rivers -the Khan river and the mighty Mekong.

We have been wandering the streets, shopping, looking at temples, eating croissants and generally relaxing. Beautiful.

Tonight, we are on the night bus again...this time for 12 hours....back to Vieniane to catch our flight to Panom Penh and back to Bangkok! Whew!
