Day 51 Falling Water and A Bit More Shopping

Luang Prabang take two! Today we were loads more productive than the previous day. We rolled out of bed at a reasonable time to make it out to the waterfalls. On the way to the tuk tuk we ran into Stuart, a friend from Chiang Mai and convinced him to join our little waterfall party. After some serious time bartering we were able to get seven people into our tuk tuk and up the hill. It was a great time wandering around the different pools and seeing a random grouping of bears out for viewing? Then we hiked up a hill to come back down again because there wasn't much to see up there that was less than a 3km walk.

The falls were very relaxing and serene. The water was an unreal shade of blue, but a bit on the chilly side. All and all a score. That night we did night market round two. I was a little better today only taking home an awesome painting of a tree and a monkey. A monkey you ask? Yes, for some reason I am unsure of we all bought these monkeys. They are cute and cudely and yes, another thing to shove into my ever growing backpack.
