Luang Prabang, Laos

We have been enjoying a relaxing stay in beautiful Luang Prabang, a historic city on a peninsula between the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers. Almost every block contains an incredible Wat (Buddhist temple). Here is a photo from the Xieng Thong Temple, constructed in 1560.

Tomorrow we leave on a three-day trek to several Hmong and Khmu villages.

Don't forget to scroll down as we continue to add stories from our recent visits in Vietnam. We've just added a post on the welcome dearth of Vietnamese Quickie Marts.!
