Luang Prabang and Curfews?

The cute Lao guy who worked at our favourite breakfast spot. Upstairs was a cafe and downstairs was a library of sorts.

After missing "curfew" (in Lao curfew is 11:00pm) we had to climb the fence at our guesthouse at about 2:00am. fun times...

Tom and Dom our Two English friends we met on our two day boat ride to Luang Prabang.



Don't worry we asked his Mom before we took a photo. So precious!


View of the night market in Luang Prabang. Just getting started.

Check out the nice view from my bike ride =)

Me on my sweet bicycle. Notice the basket and bell. This is how I explored Luang Prabang.



Feb 13-14

I loved Luang Prabang!! It was such a quaint little city like no other Asian city I've ever been in. The French influence, which is very apparent in the architecture, is unexpected and lovely at the same time. Tiff and I stayed at this cheap little guesthouse, which looking back, there were definitely reasons it was so cheap, but we are never ones to pass up a bargain =)

I spent one day on a bicycle. You know the proper kind with a basket in the front, a bell, skinny tires, and high handlebars. The only thing missing were streamers on the handlebars.

One night we were out with the boys Tom and Dom and we decided to go to their guesthouse because they had a curfew to make. Everything in Luang Prabang closes down at 11:00pm, and I mean everything! We were laughing at them because they had a curfew and we didn't. We had fun and around 2:00am Tiff and I called it a night and set out to go home. We were in for a surprise when we got to our guesthouse and the gigantor gate in front was locked. Just as we thought we'd have to trek back to where the boys were staying, one of us spotted an door open an inch to our guesthouse. That was encouragement enough for us as we threw our bags over the fence and climbed over the way any proper girl would do. Oops. I guess we did have a curfew afterall!!

The second day Tiff and I went to this beautiful waterfall, swam and enjoyed a relaxing day which we ended by climbing this little mountain to watch the sunset (well, it was more of a hill really, but mountain sounds cooler!). Romantic. Oh wait... I was with Tiffany. haha.

Next stop Vang Vieng!!
