We said goodbye to Cambodia and head to Bangkok, but only for a day because we started Altira to Laos, but what we achieve to be reached to realize we were going to have to spend some time later to visit the city and above all, shopping.
We went by plane to Luang Prabang in northern Laos. The city is world heritage so we hoped it would be great. But exceeded our expectations.
This on the banks of Mekong River and surrounded by many amazing mountains and jungle. The first thing we did upon arrival was to find a good cozy hostel went for Lao beer next to the river with fries. Everything is hyper expensive, we could eat all the 2 for $ 10. Of course the exchange rate is hyper outrageous, the basic unit is 10,000 kip (one dollar), so you can imagine with wads of dealer that we were after changing $ 100. You can see the face of a Senhor when you pay 50 USD in local currency.
Despite being a communist country is full of restaurants, bars, Coca Cola and Johnny Walker, so we assume that in Luang Prabang the thing is so hyper as tourism. In fact they are building hotels and so tired, so it is likely that in 5 years is like Cancun or something. Thankfully, we reached a view, still no time ...
The specialty here is the practice of eco sport, like trekking, mountain bikings, go see tribes, riding rafting and stuff. Of these we selected the most ecological of all, riding elephant, eeeee. We were taken by truck about 20 km from the city, on the road we saw a white guy who took off the ridge bikings, apparently with the side brake. After we reached the river, we passed a mini tribe and we reached the elephant. From a distance it looked tiny and tender, from about the same era. Muucho smaller than that of India. Like we could upload the 2 plus the driver of the elephant, which had zero authority to what the elephant wanted. Stop to eat like 30 times and took us to reach the target fed. After we got off the elephant and the driver will sacrifice for elephant degustáramos roast. We did a little walk through the jungle and we got on a boat that took us to a very bacanes waterfalls. Despite being in the middle of the jungle and an Apocalypse Now-type landscape is pretty cool. And pretty cove. Even when the tropics mule!! On all sides we have been in Southeast Asia only in Ko Lanta and Bangkok is for swimwear. The remaining pa tibion \u200b\u200bthrowing ice cream. Anyway, the thing is that we bathe in the waterfall, we saw a very sad elephant show and gave them bananas, that was entertain. Before further clarified that the elephant is roast goat, only to raise the rating of the blog. After we returned to LuangPra. In short he was very chori the elephant ride.
Other days we walked through the city that is full of Buddhist temples and stuff, in fact there are several sides where the footsteps of Buddha (? PAF), and they are giants. The temples are amazing and we saw a long time, lots of mirrors and wall tile choras.
boat also walked to see the sunset and ate delicious and cheap all the time (50 U.S. cents per person buffet, a robbery). Luang Prabang We loved everything.
In LP we went by bus to Vientiane, the capital (200,000 pop.). The bus was delayed about 12 hours, but we travel by day and we could see the scenery was incredible, full of hills very Japanese film type. In addition it was full of hills and a German boy returned. We went through Vang Vieng but we got out and came to Vientiane night. In Vientiane there are fewer things to see that LP but it is still chori. We rent a bike and walk around several sides. From Vientiane we take the bus to Bangkok, the most amazing city south east asia.
