After a good night's sleep we got back on to our slow boat for another day along the Mekong River. We were getting used to the relaxed and peaceful boat life by now! A morning of card games and reading and before we knew it, fresh lunch was served! I thought it couldn't get more delicious than yesterday, but how wrong I was!
In the afternoon,we stopped off at some caves along the river. There was a temple beneath the caves. It was very unique and rather dark also. We spotted a bat too! Our tour guide explained the history a little. There were many noisy insects around us so we had to listen carefully to him!
A couple more hours on the boat and we had reached our destination: Luang Prabang. We all had great expectations for this place, as we had heard good things. We got into a bus and were taken to our hotel. We would be staying here for three nights, so it felt good to unpack and settle down a bit. After a rest, we set out for dinner and to find some bargains at the night market. A long wait for dinner, but satisfying meal later and we were bargaining for gifts at the market!
