Reversing the flow of the Mekong towards the north, through mountains and more mountains, we arrived to Luang Prabang, old capital of Laos. Luang Prabang, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995 is a city/town on the bank of the Mekong full of Buddhist temples (Wats), monks walking around with their orange robes, lots and lots of images of Buddha, including a cave with 4,000 images, lots of restaurants and lots and lots of peace and quiet…And it seems like we have entered into the routine
of the surrounding tranquillity and the day goes by walking around the city, visiting some temples, looking for the next place to eat, watching live passing by, reading, sleeping…. A quasi-monastic life in line with the 300 Wats surrounding us.

You both look so free and easy in your photos. I keep forgetting to ask where is all your stuff?
