Chapter the First ~ Luang Prabang




Maekhong river, Luangprabang



just another waterfall with 2 bathing beauties


nymph in the forest


tiger


and another


* Lightbulb* Anna gets an idea for a new pet...




not a movie set - real haunted house in the jungle



rice cakes in the main street

small temple at the foot of Phousi Hill - Will the real Athena please stand up


view over Luangprabang from Phousi Hill looking towards the Maekhong


sunset, from the stupa on Phousi Hill



what goes up...




...must go round




trad house 4 rent, big price

not whisky jars

sa-paper village


government sticker

view from Phousi hill toward pedestrian/cycle bridge



from caves on Maekhong liver



hungry herpatological obstacle


entrance to caves, from inside

facade of monk's quarters, wat

National museum (former royal palace)


peter's bad hair day




anna marley

borts

comfy monk bed - but the year of the rooster is over

black bears play-fighting

Marca Polo, I presume?



Thai-style naga staircase

and a Lao-style makara stair-case... just like in Sri Lanka




Anna's mate, poochie-coo, busy zedding



choc-box views of the Maekhong. River-front road, Luangprabang

National museum and fruit




strong teeth lift 40kg




probably ceremonial (former royal?) boats, kept in a wat's grounds



white protective wristbands and a magic spell for safe travels



Ramakien dance show with live Lao traditional musicians



very safe here
