Luang Prabang is a mythical mix of everything you want in an Asian city. Amazing marketplace, incredible food, beautiful friendly people, not too smelly, very clean, and french pastries and coffee.
We flew in from Chiang Mai in middle of a sunny afternoon. Finding somewhere to stay was a little challenging, but we eventaually found a nice place by the river and headed out in the early evening to the Market place, which has to be the lowest intensity /highest quality marketplace ever.
I work up at about 4 am thinking that there was a lot of noise of drinkers heading home from a big night when I realised that Luang has a 11pm curfew. The noise turned out to be the monks making their morning alms parade.
On our first day we spent some great hours walking round to get our bearings and drinking great coffee. Jack booked up a Kayaking trip, and I went to see the folk at Big Brother Mouse to check on our Book Party
