Luang Prabang
Loving this place. I was walking down the main street yesterday, doing about 1 kmh when this old monk overtook me, turned around and asked in perfect English if I would like to see his temple. I said yeah and he brought me to his Wat and showed me all around. 1 hour and a cup of tea later I was back walking the streets. Imagine that in the west...
Back to the guesthouse to collect some stuff and suddenly the lady of the house says sit down and have some lunch with us. I can never refuse food, so down I sat with mom, pop, granny & 2 kids and had some absolutely great food. New favourite: Spicy Papaya salad - strips of Papaya marinated in paint-strippingly hot chilli. Even the kids had tears in their eyes after it. I was downing coconut milk as if it was going out of fashion.
Then it was off to a waterfall 30km south of town. Also breathtaking, about 100m high and not a sheer drop, but rather lots of pools in between the cascades with inbuilt vines and stuff which were perfect for doing the Tarzan and flying into the water.
Oh yeah, pictures of Thailand.
Probably off tomorrow. Don't know where though...
