I got a nine hour bus south to Luang Probang.
This is a really nice town with a bit of a sleepy french town feel about it.
The colonial influance isn't too much, boule bread and buns basically.
There are lots of tourist here, this is the northern outpost for the Thiland crowd so it's a bit of a different group.
Food prices are high but the locals are still really nice.
We wandered into a funeral celebration and were invited to sit and drink and eat.
The suns had emigrated to the united states and australia and were back just for their mothers funeral.
Then on the way back a group of young monks invited me in help them learn english.
