We were taking a long boat from Luang Prabang to see a Buddist cave when we came across wild water buffalo who were enjoying the "Mighty Mekong". They were cooling off in the water and appeared to not have a care in the world.
Mr. Lo thought we would probably see wild elephants, but they didn't appear. Just elephants used for tourist travel.
The town of Luang Prabang is a World Heritage Site with many old colonial style buildings and historic sites. We did a little bit of walking (9.7 Kms) around the town checking it out....we really were looking for a place to have a cold beer after the hot boat trip and no one could make a decision.
The place we finally collapsed at was a bad choice as the food was terrible....but the beer was at least cold.
On the way back to our hotel we walked through one of the nicest night markets we have seen in a long time. We bought a few things and will go back tonight to support the local economy even more.
Fred and I had to switch rooms when we arrived back at the hotel due to a faulty AC....just our luck it had to be to a suite with a huge soaker tub and a small living sitting room. Oh, darn!
