After a visa run to Chiang Mai, I headed off back to Luang Prabang via a slow boat down the Mekong. It was great fun.
Sooooo relaxing. Had a huge thick book and just sat there reading and looking at the scenery for two days. Spent a night in Pakbeng along the way.

Local bus from Chaing Rai to the Thai side of the border
Thai border - Laos here we come
One of these will be our transport for the next 2 days
Good way to see the world
Pakbeng. Spent the night at DP guesthouse
This is about 7am at Pakbeng, before we start off for the 2nd day
Photo shy???
Lots of villages along the way
It's the dry season so the Mekong is low and there are huge sandy beaches
The teak trees have lost their leaves
People have been harvesting grasses to make brooms.
The grasses were lying out to dry. This lady is getting rid of the seeds.
Getting close to Luang Prabang
This is Pak Ou caves, where all the Buddhas are
End of the journey -Luang Prabang. Just a 20,000 kip tuk tuk ride away from town
