And now, onto the country with everyone’s favourite folk tale, Laos! Woo Hoo!
Hmmm, left or right. Our choice of slow boats for our two day trip from Chiang Khong to Luang Prabang; the empty one on the right or the full one on the left. We of course got the full one. view image
Like cattle. The view down the boat from our seats up the back. view image
The thing about Laos is, you never have to rush. And although I’d heard this before from other travellers, it remains a difficult thing to rid yourself of Western habits overnight. That’s how we ended up rushing to catch our slow boat from Pak Beng for the second day of our trip to Luang Prabang.
When we disembarked the night before, no-one seemed to know what time the boat was leaving the next morning; everyone was too preoccupied with scrambling across a narrow gangplank in the rapidly fading light, balancing precariously with packs on their backs, and fighting their way up the steep, sandy slope to be the first to the decent guesthouses. Bec and I meandered our way up the slope, and were soon at the door of a shady looking guesthouse, having been ushered there by a young girl, “Where you from?” She had asked. “You very pretty.” She had said. To Bec, not me. You fool.
