To the Mekong and Luang Prabang

Then we got in a bigger motor boat for an 8 hour cruise doown the Nam Ou...


...to its confluence with the Mekong...


...arriving at Luang Prabang.


Luang Prabang is a town famous for its religious icons, monasteries, and temples.


Icons in caves...


...temples...


...and more temples.


Hundreds of monks walk the street every morning at dawn to receive their alms, hand-outs of food from the townspeople.
