Luang Prabang, Laos : 16 Dec 10

Today I was feeling a bit worse for wear ... it wasn't the beer last night honest!

I walked all the way ( a very long way ) to the nicest WAT in Luang Prabang and when i got there and after I had paid my entrance fee I realised I had left my camera back at the Guest House ... not happy JAN!!!  And I had my thongs on too so I had to walk all the way back to my Guest House, get my camera and change into my more sensible shoes.

Then I walked all the way back ... it was worth it too ... what a lovely WAT and there were monks hanging around and it just had a lovely feel to it.  I sat in the WAT for awhile and just soaked up the atmosphere.  Lots of gold buddhas again. 

Then I walked all the way back nearly to my guest house and visited the Luang Prabang Museum which used to be the Royal Palace.  More buddhas but was interesting to see how the royal family used to live.

And then it was MORE drinking and debauchery with Mick and Dan :))  We went to the Blue Ice Bar again and had a fantastic night.  It was crowded with lots of very interesting people and we sat at the bar all night and made friends with the bar staff.  Was a very late night but hey it was my last night in Luang Prabang and maybe I won't see Mick and Dan for another 23 years !! that was my excuse anyway ... Luang Prabang has an 11.30pm curfew ... but we were there til after midnight ???
