Luang Prabang, Laos

For the 1st sunset of the new year, we were treated to a slow boat trip down the Mekong River by a friendly Pittsburgh couple. What a relaxing evening...such is Laos.

We were able to take a night bus, so the next day we had time to visit these amazing waterfalls about 40 minutes from Luang Prabang. We climbed to the top of the 35 meter falls and were able to stand in the falls at the very top. The river had a lot of minerals in it, creating a stone covering over everything, even the wooden planks that were used as an old walkway.

In Bangkok for the forth and last time...heading to Kolkata early tomorrow morning.
