Luang Prabang
I caught a bus to Luang Prabang today and got in about 5 pm. A trip that is suppose to take 5 hours took about 7 hours. I was a pretty amazing bus trip, up and down windy roads passing some beautiful mountain scenery. There was virtually no one else on the road – just a few trucks and a bus or two. It’s completely different from Vietnam, where every road big and small is a traffic nightmare.
Luang Prabang is a World Heritage Town and it feels more like a regular city compared with what I have seen so far in Laos, with a pretty good wifi cafe. The place I am staying is 5 bucks for the night and even included free dinner tonight.

There are plenty of places to stay but the town but there is not much to do at night. Tours range from around $10-$15 for the day, including lunch. [...]
