Laos - Luang Prabang

Further up into the mountains is the former capital, Luang Prabang

The Nam Khan and Mekong both merge at the north east end of town

It's very picturesque and looks very French.  Here are 2 classic cars, a Merc and an old Citroen from the 40's, I think

Lots of temples too, which the local monks have be trainned to maintain to a very high standard

The views are stunning, once again

We went to see Kouang Si Waterfall.  Attached to it is a sanctuary for bears

The waterfalls look so perfect, they don't look real

I've never seen anything like them.  They are in a steps, so if you got bored of one pool, just walk uphill a few feet to find another

Some of the pools you could swim in

Locals took picnics and spent the day there with the family

There are so many levels and as we went early, a lot were deserted

As you got further up, the size of the drops increased

Until the monster one at the very top

Which you couldn't swim in, incase something fell from the top

You could climb to the top of the waterfall

And could wade through the pools up there

We then went into the mountains where it was good viewing

And the roads were deserted

Hard to see on this picture, but you could see for miles, and it wasn't even that clear

The bike that got us there lacked power in my opinion, but it was still fun

Wish we had more roads like this, back home
