Na twee dagen Vang Vieng was het tijd om door te gaan naar een bestemming waar ik ontzettend naar heb uitgekeken: Luang Prabang. Opnieuw voorbereid op een helse rit in de minivan viel de 4,5 uur dwars door de bergen eigenlijk nog wel mee (misschien ook omdat primatour je lekker slaperig maakt). En daar waren we dan, in het paradijsje. De minibus dropte ons gelukkig niet al te ver van ons nieuwe hotel, Maison Dalabua. En gelukkig maar, want onze backpack (vooral die van mij) was niet heel erg licht. Maison Dalabua is werkelijk waar een paradijs opzich: het heeft een prachtige grote vijver en heerlijk ruime kamers. Genoeg gekletst, ik laat jullie de foto's zien van de eerste twee dagen in Luang Prabang :)

After two days in Vang Vieng it was time to continue to a destination which I was really looking forward to: Luang Prabang. We were prepared for yet another minivan ride from hell, but after 4,5 hours through the mountains it was actually not that bad (maybe the primatour/anti sickniss pills helped, it made us really sleepy). And so we arrived in paradise. The minivan dropped us not too far away from our new hotel, Maison Dalabua. And that was good, because our backpacks (especially mine) were really heavy. Maison Dalabua is a little paradise itself, it has a beautiful big pond and pretty spacious rooms. Well enough chitchat, let's continue to the pictures of the first two days in Luang Prabang :)
We found Maison Dalabua at booking.com where it recieved one of the highest ranks, which is definitely worth it. We had a quick lunch in town and enjoyed our hotel and hotelroom because it was so pretty and relaxed. At 5 o'clock the happy hour started and we enjoyed a nice little gin tonic for just 12.000 kip (don't be fooled, it is very cheap, it's about 1.20 euro). 
Maison Dalabua has free bikes for their guests, so we got ourselves a lovely pink and blue one and cycled around in the small town. We went to see some of the famous Wats and biked to the riverside. Luang Prabang is a very pretty town with lovely old houses in a french style. But men oh men it was bloody hot this day, unbelievable!
In the evening we went up to Mount Phousi to see the sunset and it was pretty amazing. It was a bit crowded up there but still we had a great time. Afterwards we went to the evening market to buy even more bracelets (well, I did ofcourse) and we had a nice dinner at a local stall for just 1 euro per person. It was good and the beer was even better :)
amazing photos! looks like a heaven :)
