Arriving late evening in a random street in Luang Prabang, two friendly guys at a guesthose got me a tuk-tuk. It was, obviously, overprised; but when it`s less than 2 euros, who cares as long as you get where you want to get safely? The city of Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site--and a gorgeous one! With temples all over the place, dotted with a subtropical scenery and two rivers making the whole place into a peninsula, it is a haven of guesthouses, travellers, fruit shakes, tuk-tuk rides and potential trekking adventures. Among others. In fact, I think that almost whatever you are looking for, Luang Prabang can provide a little, heavenly version of it. 
So far I have checked out one of the waterfalls in the area for a lovely swim; cruised the streets for good food and new sights; checked out local temples, sampled the local massages; sprawled at the Hmong night market; enjoyed a slow-boat ride up to the Pak Ou caves lined with myriads of buddha statues; made new friends, eaten great food such as a Lao braai, had cheap drinks, and--to finish the nights off--gone bowling at the local hot-spot and the only place i Luang Prabang not affected by the cerfew (apparently because it is run by a guy who could be called "Tony")... More photos will be added once I can get the net to upload them!

Det er så gøy å lese bloggen din Tiril! Når jeg leser om alt det spennende du opplever er det nesten som om jeg fortsatt er på reise selv, så da gjør det ikke så mye at jeg begynner å jobbe om en uke. God tur videre, og håper vi snakkes plutselig når du er tilbake i landet. Klem!
