Luang Prabang, Laos - Thursday & Friday, September 22 & 23, 2022

Thursday, September 22
Our home for 3 nights across the street from the Mekong River

View of the Mekong River from our room

We visited the  Xieng Thong Temple 

Climbed over 300 steps to see the Sacred stupa at the top of Mount Phousi to see the view of Luang Prabang and the Mekong River - part of the stairway with the naga (snake) banister

Kuang si waterfall - a must see & you can swim in certain parts, unfortunately we did not….






Beautiful butterfly


Sacha ichi beans supposed to be good for blood pressure, cholesterol and weight.  Dried beans are tasty!

We took a 3-1/2 hour boat ride on the Mekong - we are climbing a lot of stairs!

We visited Whiskey Island where we tried the rice wines and liquor.  Quite challenging getting on & off the boat!
