We spent three great days in this beautiful northern Lao town, which is also Unesco Heritage town and has quite a quaint flair about it,not having seen so far in SEAsia.
The highlight was a trip to Kuang Se waterfalls, a series of cascades with turquoise blue swimming holes at the bottom and watching Tony swinging on a rope and juming in the water.
The other fun thing was an elephant ride in the nearby remote woods. The town itself had beautiful temples,one of the oldest one in Laos. We also witnessed the daily early morning parade of the monks, collecting their alms (people line up on the side of the street, giving the monks food). It is quite a sight, hundreds of monks in their pumpkin color robes.
Thursday morning we were off on a flight to Hanoi for our last leg of the journey.
