Lost in Laos part deux.

[Mr Earl]

The next leg was up to Luang Prabang the famous "Cultural Heritage Town".
We were only going to stay in Luang Prabang one night but it proved to be interesting enough for two nights. The coffee shop and Nazim resto are worth it too.

The drive from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang is one of the most spectacular drives on the planet.
I didn't get many pics and landscape pics are boring anyway.

The road heading into the mountains from Vang Vieng:

Bhodi tree gift from India:

Roof detail of royal palace now national museum:

Being a motorhead no post is complete without a vehicle:

To be continued....
the getting lost part is yet to come.
