| Alongside the Mekong River |
I crossed the Mekong River into Laos from Northern Thailand in November
2000. From there, I took a speedboat downriver to Louang Phrabang, and on to the capital by road.
The river itself
is marvellous, surrounded by sandy banks and awesome mountains. Luang Prabang is a relaxing, quaint town, recently declared
a World Heritage Site. Much more wonderful is Ven Vieng, with its magnificent natural setting, cool caves and pleasant riverfront.
You can rent an innertube, take a pickup upriver and spend the afternoon floating back on the water! Nice.Here are a few photos
I took during my time there.
