Can We Please Go Back to Louang Prabang?

We knew when we Louang Prabang after only one day that we would regret it. That’s the trouble with traveling on a schedule. One of the largest cities in Laos, though still very small, this sleepy little town is surrounded by mountains and nature. We spent our limited time there eating at delicious restaurants and street stalls, wandering through the biggest night market in the country and checking out a handful of temples and monasteries. The highlight was by far the climb to a temple atop a hill that offered a 360 degree view of the rest of the city, the countryside and the Mekong River. Next time we’re in Laos we’ll definitely have to give Louang Prabang a second chance.
