Luang Prabang, Laos

Have a bit of travel fatigue today and kinda just want to hop on a plane, go home and hang out with mom for a few days. I don’t know if that is going to happen though 🙁

A group of us (6-7 of us have been traveling together since the boarder crossing at Huay Xai) went to the Pak Ou caves today. Lonely Planet guide said that it was great and it certainly seemed to be one of the main things to do here in Luang Prabang. We did pass by the caves (filled with buddha statues) when we were on the two day boat ride. As it turned out, we really saw all that there was to see passing by on the boat that day and the caves were really not as exciting as it seemed.

I think its too hot and hence causing the travel fatigue. We have decided to skip Vientain and go straight to Siem Rep, Cambodia. Which means that today will be our last day here in Laos.

I have really liked Laos so far. Certainly much better sanitation standards than many parts of China. There are much that I would still like to do here – up North for a bit of trekking and down south to see some different part of the country. But that will have to wait for the next trip!
