The slowboat ended in luong prabang and we ended up staying for 5 days because Mairi got her first bout of food sickness after a couple days. =( we rented a motorcycle and headed 40 mins away to Kuang Si waterfalls. Thy were so amazing... Icy blue waters and about 6 "steps" of waterfalls in total. One had a rope swing and a huge swimming area so we hung out there with some friends for a bit while fishies nibbled our toes. Connected to the waterfall park was a sun bear conservation area where they had 5 different bears with funny shaggy necks chilling out in hammocks. An Aussie lady started the program to save the bears and now they house rescued bears near the falls.
We explored around luong prabang more, made it to Pak Ou caves - otherwise known as 1000 buddha caves as that's what is in them! Utopia restaurant/ bar was really nice and has bamboo, coconuts, and old bombshells as decorations. in the day there is yoga over looking the river and a chillout spot and at night it comes alive with volleyball in the bar (in a court!), music. Bowling is the only thing one can do after the strict Laoation curfew of 11pm kicks in. Most tourists seem to go and bowl and drink all night!
