The old French colonial city of luang prabang

First I'd have to tell you that Luang Prabang is beautifull.  The old French colonial style which is still noticeable and part of their own culture now. A good thing about this is that we are able to eat baguette with La vache qui rit, the French cream cheese. Ohh so good. And amazing noodle soups for breakfast , lunch and dinner haha. 

One day we rent a simple town bike with no gears as Luang Prabang is quite flat. Of course we were not planning on staying in the city and went outside to visit an amazing waterfall. We knew this particular waterfall was 30 kms outside the city. What we did not know was that the road through there was mountains going up and down... This basically meant: we had to walk the mountains up and roll down and repeat this course several times. But In the end it was so worth it! We could swim in the waterfall there and we left so early that we were nearly the only ones. Just us and 4 Australians. In the so welcoming cold water, a real treat after the "not so fun" bike ride. But yet again, this waterfall is so amazing, I would not have wanted to miss it.




 
The other days we planned our Vietnam trips and visited the Vietnam embassy for our Visum. Another page filled in our passports! Every night we  visited the nice night markets of the city and enjoyed delicious Lao food!
