Day 4 Luang Prabang
A lovely day today, we went on an organised trip. We drove north for about 45 minutes to visit a whisky village. The whisky is called Lao Lao. Then elephant riding for about an hour, which was great.

They weren't cheap but the other option would have taken too long and was too risky ...
A trip along the Mekong River by boat
... day, each boat, and there were many, was assigned six passengers. This method ensures that all boats got work for the day. The boats are then sent out in staggered times. Luckily, I was on the third boat out.
The ride to the caves takes about two hours, with a quick stop to an "ethnic" village that's known for its rice alcohol. As we were cruising along, I noticed that the driver kept looking to the side ...
