s0mmes arrived in Laos there about 5 days, and already it is undoubtedly our favorite countries of Asia until now. We cross the Mekong by boat from northern Thailand to Huay Xai has arrived in north-western Laos. Strangely, the visa in Laos for Canadians is the most expensive ... all nations combined is 42 $ us! Mr Harper should negotiate with the Socialist president here for us we pay $ 30 like everyone else. But finally, as we discovered, the price is worth paying for the country which, until now, is a big favorite of our trip.
We are now in Luang Prabang, Huay Xai we took a boat for two days on the Mekong River (river, which share Tibet and ends in southern Vietnam). The descent was great! We stopped often in small villages along the river and children jumping Samus has trees in the river and we make great bows of hand with beautiful smiles, they were really adorable. The 2nd day was longer, I forget to mention that we were about a hundred people crammed on the boat (mostly tourists) on little wooden benches, so no comfort but it is well worth it.
Arrive in Luang Prabang, probably the most beautiful city in Southeast Asia, a pearl guarded well because although there are many tourists, the city has not lost its charm since the end of the occupation French there are over 60 years. The city is a UNESCO heritage, the architecture is superb and the food excellent, and much less expensive than Thailand. The market is quiet at night and there are so many beautiful things to buy handmade for less than $ 5
We leave tonight to Vang Vieng, a place for tubing down the river and stopping in bars way ... it seems that its a big party
