Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang is Laos main tourist place. Fat wallets fly in with the plane and check out the old part of town. Which is ok, but not amazing or anything close. The fact that is surrounded by the Mekong and another river make it nice. Prices tend to be of of place. We rented some really bad bycicles with only one gear and rode them to a famous waterfall 30 km in the south. It was as hot as steep, which resulted in a poor condition of us at the sight. The waterfalls were truly beautiful - only rivaled by Lanquin in Guatemala. Turquoise pools separated by picturesque waterfalls. But the word has spread a long time ago and the tourist infrastructure is well established. Even a asian bear parc is at the entrance. We hiked up to the very top of the fall - were 90 percent of tourists physically cant go and walked to a cave on the plateau. While we visited that place we were the only ones in the cave. Then we returned, dipped into the refreshing pools and packed our bicycles on top of a TukTuk and drove back.
