    What was her finishing time?

    Did the run start early/late?

    I want to try a few cycling and running events in Southeast Asia but am slightly concerned that I might pass-out early doors.
    it started about 6 in the morning, Thats all i know i was still in bed while all this was going on

    There are 2 nice waterfalls in LP the most visited is Kuangsi, we had been before so decided to check out the smaller one called tad sai. Excellent little spot where the Lao folk like to go on weekends

    Take a tuk tuk from tow about 15 kms and tell the driver to come back to get you when your ready. To reach the falls you first take enough a small boat




    I wasnt expecting much but it turned out to be a very nice place






    Couple of local beauties were admiring the moobs,

    Nice thread LBD Thanks.
    Did you get a chance to eat at the "Elephant" (I think that's what it's called) restaurant.
    On the left hand side as you go up the main drag towards the big temple.
    We've had some bloody good feeds there.

    Smaller off the beaten path spots are my cup of tea as well. Far preferable to the usual tourist spots. Never been to Luang Prabang but on my places to go, people to see, things to do list now.

    ^looks like dried/pressed riverweeds covered with sesame seeds. Like the beer munchies in post 42.

    Thnx for the pix, bld. LP now in bucket list. Does the riverweed snack taste similar to the nori (dried seaweed) that they use for sushi/maki?

    Don't miss the waterfalls outside of town. Way over the top. Plus... You get to see what most of Laos looks like so you don't get the wrong image of the country by staying in the French quarter.

    Yeah, looks like it changed a lot since my last visit 10 years ago, on my list, too.

    Those river weed snacks look yummy, will have a go at it, the stuff is available locally, will send the missus to collect some.
