Laos, rhymes with cow
Saturday, December 6th, 2008Luang Prabang, Laos.
Our first week in Laos was spent relaxing in the two little river towns of Nong Khiaw and Muang Ngoi. From Odomxai we planned on taking a bus straight to Nong Khiaw, but ended up getting up and around (after eating yummy crepes and fruit shakes for breakfast!) too late and missing the direct bus. We were told by our friendly guesthouse staff that we could take the bus to Pak Mong where all of the buses from Luang Prabang passed through as well as ones from farther north. We bought our ticket at around noon and sat on the van/bus for about three hours before we finally took off. But we’d bought some fresh baguettes from a lady walking around the bus station (which was just a line of buses and a building in the middle of nowhere) and some apples and oranges from a little stand and we had plenty of water, so we just sat and munched and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the people going about their business at the station.
