Hello!
We havent had a chance to update the blog in Laos, as our journey after Luang Prabang took us to some pretty remote areas, where they had no internet and electricity ran for only 4 hours per day!
So we went on to a little riverside village 4 hours north of Luang Prabang, called Nong Khiaw. It was beautiful with limestone karsts surrounding it. Unfortunately we chose the cheapest and also worst accommodation there which kind of tainted the experience, but we still enjoyed nice long walks to the local cave and waterfall.
From there we took a boat upriver to another smaller and even more remote village called Muang Ngoi Neua. We found a bungalow with a balcony and hammock looking out over the river with the most stunning views! We loved it so much so we stayed there 2 nights and did pretty much nothing other than appreciate the views and seriously chill out.
It was a good idea to get some rest before the next part of our journey in Laos, as we had 2 solid days back to back in cramped local buses going through windey narrow mountain roads on our way over to Vietnam. Our first taste of Vietnam wasnt ideal, as our bus drivers tried to con us into paying unneccessary fees to cross the border and then they tried it on again when we were arranging our transport to HaNoi. We are still open-minded though and are welcoming new Vietnamese experiences!
Lots of love,
Rozzi and Laurence
