Luang prabang, Laos

The night bus was a bumpy ride. We arrived at around 6am on Feb 5th, 20 minutes outside of the town!!! So we had to pay for a tuk tuk, who wouldn't even drop to hostels, so had a further 15 min walk!!
I stayed at Funny riverside hostel.
It had an amazing view of the river from the decking, such a lovely setting.
Activities:
- Kuang Si waterfalls (really beautiful) - the journey there consisted of a driver who took double the time as he kept stopping/slowing down to answer his phone!!!
- Pub crawl that ended in an infamous bowling alley and very weird nightclub!!
- Sunset river cruise
- Walking around and exploring the town
- Night markets
Ate at:
- Zurich cafe
- Joma bakery
- La silapa Italian and Lao restaurant
- Night markets
I left on Thursday 8th with Emily and a guy called Will, to go to Vang Viang on the Chinese bullet train!! - we ended up spending 4 hours at the train station due to the hostel booking us onto the incorrect train :(
A very strict train station , which required us to go through security when entering, and getting rid of any aerosols!!Read more
