Nov 11, 2009 - Laos - Luang Prabang

Hi All, Well this morning I woke up at the crack of dawn as I wanted to see the giving of the alms to the Monks. Apparently it is a 4 hour trek up to the villages and then afterwards to a waterfall for some relaxation to end the day and also to end my time here in Laos, Luang Prabang. ... I then fly off to Bangkok on Saturday to meet up with the guide and also meet up with Tracey the other girl doing the Elephant adventure with me.Hi All, Well this morning I woke up at the crack of dawn as I wanted to see the giving of the alms to the Monks.

Sep 14, 2009 - Laos is Amazing

We only had about 6 days in Laos so we spent time in Luang Prabang and then a day in Vang Vieng. ... Luang Prabang is a quaint little town right on the Mekong river. ... Vang Vieng was breathtakingly beautiful and I would have loved to have stayed longer to explore it, but we had to get back to Luang Prabang so we could fly to Thailand and meet Lindsey! Bottom line: Laos is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go back. ...

Luang Prabang is a beautiful little city - the city itself is a World Heritage site - that is tranquil but packed with Buddhist faith and Laotian culture. ... Paradise!

Mar 31, 2009 - Elephant Mahout Camp

The Elephant camp was FANTASTIC! It is hands down the best thing I have done since leaving home 2 months ago. It was only a short bus ride from Luang Prabang down twisted and bumpy dirt roads, then we arrived at a river which we crossed via a little flat bottom boat. ... I was supposed to go kayaking from the camp back down the river to Luang Prabang but decided to stay on the elephants instead. ... It turned out to be a good choice as its been storming all afternoon and it was a 4 hour kayak back to town.The Elephant camp was FANTASTIC!
