November 27, 2007. Luang Prabang, Laos.
(notes from my journal)
We woke up around 7 am ish today, but my throat was in a bad condition. I just felt like staying in bed and not venturing out. With the throat ache, came a bad cold and a weak body.
We took my health in our stride and took it easy. After all we were on vacation and we did not have to be active ALL the time. So we spent the morning lazing around, reading and talking to each other. What could be better, anyway!
Around noonish, we decided to venture out. Since it was noon, most Wat’s were closed so we just took photos from outside. We walked around Luang Prabang and along the Mekong river, taking in the sights and feeling; loving ever moment of it. The road along the Mekong river has some art galleries and we went in to whichever caught our fancy, spending time as we liked. For lunch, we ate a Lao sandwich (Oh! We love them so much). The afternoon was spent resting and lazing back at the room.
In the evening, we walked about the night market and had dinner at our hotel – The Apsara. The food was very good, but the lack of choices for vegetarians left us slightly unhappy. However, whatever was lacking in choice was made up with the excellent taste and attentive service that we got. We had a lovely evening sitting at our table, chatting, watching the river and soaking in the atmosphere. Yes, we love Luang Prabang!
We walked around town for a while, sipping a fruit shake (dessert). This place is perfect…!
