Last days in Luang Prabang (approx. Jan 15-17)

We went to a waterfall today and did a zipline tour. It was fun because you got to climb this really cool ladder that came out of the limestone. We went on 18 different ziplines. It was fun. On the last one, we got to go upside down.

We just finished up our stay in Luang Prabang. I really liked our accommodations: Oui’s Guesthouse. Obviously, influenced by the French. Anyways, we got to rent bicycles for the first time on this trip!!!!! So exciting! There were a lot of Buddhist monks in this town. Our guesthouse was actually right around the corner from a monastery, so maybe that’s why I got the impression that there were a lot of them.

We also did a few outside-of-town activities like ziplining and rope swinging into a waterfall. The water at both places was really cold (no surprise there). I really liked Luang Prabang. It reminded me a bit of Ouray in terms of there being no traffic lights, chain businesses, or flat ground. There are a lot of mountains here in Laos. My parents say it reminds them of Nepal. It’s also a bit chilly…
