Thatsaphone Villa Luang Prabang

... for my liking; I've seen to much of him now. All we did learn, however, from a story told in installments accompanying a series of pictures placed systematically around the walls, was that the penultimate incarnation of Buddha was rather irresponsible as he not only gave away a sacred white elephant but also gave away his wife and kids to some random bloke in a forest, just because the random bloke asked him ...

... so comfy<br>After about 4 hours one of the Lao rich spoilt girls in the back started vomiting into a plastic bag. Someone else convinced the Korean guy to give up his seat in the front to her so that she'd get less sick. He grudginly agreed. The Lao girl didn't want my ****** seat (obviously). But she took up much less space so that was good, I finally had enough space for my legs. However, by this time I was very sleepy, which was helped ...

... Si (Boris va surement nous trouver quelque expliquation pour le nom :-). C'etait marque 36 km sur la carte mais ce qu'ils avaient pas note c'est que ca grimpait sec ! Apres mes activites sportives de Vang Vieng, j'etais mort au bout de 10 km! J'ai alors arrete un scooter avec 2 etudiants laotiens et leur ai demande de me remorquer. Ils ont ete trop cool et j'ai passe l'apres-midi avec eux pour picnicer et profiter des chutes d'eau. Le soir, Pan et Vong m'ont emmene ...

... a blessing from the monks. Unfortunately, the lady we spoke to the night before had given us the wrong time and we were too early. We did see them all sitting around inside and outside of the temples praying. It was a bit eerie to listen to but great to have seen. We went back to bed but Han was determined so was up again at 6am. I sat this one out but she managed to get a great view of the whole process and was delighted with it ...

... very cool and hopefully going to see some Buddha caves by boat tomorrow. Let's hope these ones are less spidery! <br><br>I'm sure I've already said this but I'm loving Laos so much. The people are so friendly and the scenery is amazing. It has a much more laid back feel to it than any other country we've visited. After Luang Prabang we'll head to Phonsavan. Then back to Viantiane and Bangkok.<br><br>Love you all.<br>Miss you loads!<br><br>Adele xxx<br>

After leaving Luang Namtha , I traveled for 9 hours with a motorbike on the roof of the bus and surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. I made my way back to Luang Prabang just in time for their annual boat racing competition. Boat racing is a huge event in Laos. Locals from the surrounding towns and villages come to support and see who will win. It was really interesting because Luang Prabang usually is a sleepy town with many tourists ...

... they were pretty good. They make vball much more fun than I'm used to seeing. I got in on the second game had a blast. The were holes in between the nets and every once in a while a ball would go through to the ravine. One time the ball was shot over the brick wall that covers one side of the court. I had already gone on two search and rescue missions for the ball and really wasn't feeling a third. But the ball was over the fence, in the neighbor's yard and up in a ...

... just so happened that this conveniently unusaul late opener (for a bowling alley), was to serve beer Laos!.Fancy that! Well,what fun this place was too. With everyone allredy over excited that we were getting one over on the local rules, we could not only have more beers but could play bowling drunk! Life didn't seem to get better! The place was crammed with backpackers and was an inevitable riot. <br> The nights there-after would consist of ...
