Back to Louang Prabang...

After only 2 nights at Muang Ngoi, we had to hustle back to Luang Prabang so Funk could get back to his job... sheesh...

But we did spend another night going out in Lao... somehow the bowling alley here stays open past the national curfew of 11 pm... so it's where folks go to drink... and bowl.


More Huge spiders.


After dropping Funk of at 6 am, Kimbo and I took the scooters south to another waterfall. This might just be my favorite waterfall in SE Asia... if not world wide. If you find yourself in Luang Prabang, this is a must visit. Not only does it have bears...


The blond one looks ferocious egh?


But waterfalls to jump off...


A small rope swing...


And a big waterfall up the river where all the tour groups hang out... (see something for everyone)


Kimbo liked it...


Back in Luang Prabang, the food was amazing... Lao food is pretty plain... mostly pho (rice noodle soup) in the countryside, and maybe some Khao Pad (Fried Rice)... but LP is different. This is Yum Mong or something (spicy peanut salad)


And at the night market, you can get BBQ Fish... and it's amazing.


... and something for the more adventurous

Drying out chillies in the parking lot...


Lots of monks here... in this culture (Thai, Cambodia, Lao) every man is expected to be a monk for at least a few years and Luang Prabang is full of temples and monks.


With a few hours to spare before hopping on a bus to Thailand, I decided to get my hair cut... I mean how can you pass this barber shop up. And for 75cent, he did a great job.


So... this apparently means no parking... had to pay a 10$ fine... or rather pay off the cop for 10$... I'm sure the fine is much less...


And we ran in to Neil roaming the streets just before we luckily sold the second motorbike to a backpacker.


BTW, I love all the fake clothing... some of it, you can't really tell if it's fake... but others are a bit easier...
