Nong Khiaw - stunning part of the world


The view from the bridge towards Mung Ngoi
You can just see our cottages on the right shore

Just a 3 hour minivan trip north from Luang Prabang is Nong Khiaw.  On the Nam Ou river, Nong Khiaw is surrounded by stunning karst mountains.  The distance from Luang Prabang isn't that far, but the roads are in poor condition so it takes a while.  So pleased that Jo is visiting which has prompted this trip.  It is also good to get out of the city.

Heavily bombed during what we call in Australia call the Vietnam war, there are caves where people people sheltered and a danger of unexploded ordinance if you go too far off the beaten track.

Some beatuiful rice fields along the way here.  It's October and some of the rice is ready to be harvested.  This is the far north east of the country with China further north and Vietnam to the east.


Anyone from rock climbing?


Views from our balcony - how hard is this to take??
