Luang Prabang

Sone and I flew from Vietianne to Luang Prabang this morning. This afternoon we rented a truck to take us to the nearby Kraiangsi waterfall. Sone and I climbed to the top of the falls and then back down half-way to a very nice, very cold pool. There was a big crowd there with the main attraction being a rope swing, which of course, I had to try. The falls were beautiful and the water was cold and refreshing.

I haven't been doing much today other than walk around town and enjoy the lack of tourists. I am a bit sad that I wasn't here for Songkran last month, but perhaps I can come back next year.

Tomorrow I will take the boat down the Mekong back to Thailand. I am in the middle of a long-distance, yet short-time trip, most of which will be spent travelling, but I am having a wonderful time in any case.
