Luang Prabang

After a night in Vientienne, we hopped on an eleven hour bus ride to our most anticipated Laos destination, Luang Prabang.  It was a really really long bus ride with lots of mountain curves, but amazing scenery.  Thankfully, we arrived safe and sound and exhausted. 
This city has an amazing night market with tons of beautiful embroidered pieces, silver jewlery, and elephant souvenirs.  The city is located along two rivers, and there is a beautiful road with cute cafes aligning the mighty Mekong River.

 Stacey and I rented bikes for the day and explored more of the city.
