Layouts of Laos!
The pictures of Laos are from the two towns we visited, Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang. Laos has much to offer and what we experienced are only a few of them...
The interesting bus ride we took from Vientiane to Vang Vieng.
A view of downtown Vang Vieng and Jilly at our restaurant watching movies.
Scenes from our caving trek!
Jilly and I in the rice fields.
Local life in and around Vang Vieng. Believe it or not, that's an old tractor engine that they have used for this contraption in the 2nd pic.
Children in Lao.
Luang Prabang
Jilly standing along side the Nam Khan river across from where our guesthouse was.
Sunsets from our view at the restaurant that looked over the Mekong river.
Sunset from on top of Mt. Phousi.
Interesting sights from Luang Prabang.
The night market.
Night food market... check out these scrumptious little morsels! yuck!
Boat trip to the caves, the paper-making/weaving village and the whisky making village. Jilly walking down with our guide to our boat, Jilly and I on the boat, where we stopped to refuel on the river, village people awaiting our arrival, the infamous bottles of 'snake wine', Jilly in the village, paper making, weaving and the result of the weaving!
Our trek into the beautiful waterfall, as well as the 'wildlife' we came across!
Squatter's Rights!! This is a typical toilet in both Africa and South East Asia! As you can see there is no flush... hence the hand held bucket on the left, that's how you flush by pouring water down the hole. (just a point of interest!)
