Mum this is the bird that i bought your cushion cover off!
A bit nuts but that was half the appeal!






Luang Prabang!

Now this is a cool little world heritage town, quite cute with all the architecture being very old school French!

Days here were spent exploring the heritage town, walking up 300 and something stairs to get an awesome view of the Town and see another Temple with a massive reclining buddha, going to see waterfalls (see previous post!) or general relaxation in one of the cool cafes that this place has.

At night the night markets took hold and these things take half the night to do! So much stuff just lined up on the road lit by fairy lights! Also Luang Prabang was home to the best/cheapest meals! Vegetarian (only down side) buffet for 50c! Was great you just piled your plate as high as you could and wacked heaps of some tasty chilli sauce in and wala! Fantastic dinner and more money for the Beer Lao foundation!

One morning here was also spent observing "giving Alms" - big in Laos. Its where the locals line the streets at 6am, and streams of Monks come flooding out and collect goodies from them. Usually sticky rice but one case i saw lollies! haha
