Pants (three pairs) – I’ve got to go to Vientiane to get a visa for China. Three travel agents confirmed that Luang Prabang’s embassy shut 7/8 months ago. Another rethink as Laos is a big country and it’s a long way to Vientiane. And back, of course. Plus, getting a China visa is a bit of a rigmarole – you have to show a ticket into and out of the country, itinerary and hotel bookings for your stay and proof of funds, plus the application form and two passport photos. No wonder not many people visit China.
Great views on the journey back to Luang Prabang:
And an odd chap at the bar that evening – he kept on buying people drinks. People crowded round him. Quite simply, he was trying to buy people’s attention (and it was mostly working!):
It’s good to be back in Luang Prabang again. I really like the place and it’s much easier arriving somewhere you know. Especially when they do great chocolate chip brownies 🙂
