Temples and tranquility in Luang Prabang

Leaving the happy backpackers of Van Vieng behind we took a seemingly endless, but utterly beautiful bus trip to Luang Prabang, our last destination in Laos. We've only a few days left before we head to Thailand, and it definitely feels like we are on our way home. We've lost the momentum to do and see everything possible, but luckily this is a great place to be to see beautiful temples contrasted with bamboo huts, monks occupying internet cafes and five star luxury next door to backpacker guesthouses, all within 5 minutes of our guesthouse overlooking the Mekong.
