LASTLY IN LAOS, LUANG PRABANG

Guess what this is? "Cough, gush, splat." Well, that's the sound of Jayden spewing everywhere in his bed just after midnight last night. He's been all good today though so it must have just been something didn't agree with him. A quick clean up and into bed with us so with Dave snoring on one side, Jayden on the other and me waiting for the next vomit there wasn't much sleep happening.

But at least I had plenty of opportunity to catch up on some today when we left Vang Vieng and were driven to our last stop in Laos, Luang Prabang.

What does one do on a 6 hour long drive?

Some school work:

Play nintendo:
















And sleep (love mini vans):

Laos is an absolutely beautiful country.

So many gorgeous sights.

Some just hard to fathom.

The road to Luang Prabang is very windy. We had lunch at the very top of a mountain.

Not long after arriving at our guest house, Villa Saykham, we could hear music and stepped outside to see the novices at the Wat next door making beautiful music.

We ate at a restaurant tonight, the Coconut Garden. However, I've found what and where I'm eating for the rest of the time here. I'll take pics tomorrow night.

Dave still in his groove.

And eating a Luang Prabang speciality, Pork and Buffalo Skin in Coconut Milk and Pickled Fish Roe;

And Air Dried Buffalo.

The markets operate every night from 5 pm to 10 pm and as we love market shopping couldn't resist spending some kip. Jayden got a new blanky. You should see the remains of his old one, there's nothing but rope like pieces left.
