Relaxed by pool [at Setha Palace] in morning.
Went back to Anousaveri monument to take pictures from inside…
– then onto Kala Sao morning market – bought a CD and some silver tipped cutlery.
25 years later, I still use those “silver” tipped chopsticks at the flat. It wasn’t exactly the album linked here to YouTube music, but, believe me, neither you, dear reader, nor we, could tell the difference.
Then off to the airport to fly to Luang Prabang – bumpy ride made Daisy feel ill! Met by Prasauth, who took us to the lovely Villa Santi and then out touring. First stop, Wat May – beautiful five teared roof and bas reliefs.
Then on to Wat Vixoun with paintings around pillars and a Buddha museum inside – – also Melon Stupa (aka That Makmo) in grounds
Then to Wat Xieng Thong – stunning buildings with paintings & mosaics.
Then walked 328 steps up Phousi to Wat Tham Phousi and then home.
Dinner at Villa Santi – Luang Prabang sausage, fish soup, chicken coconut soup, chicken in coconut, stuffed banana leaf.
All the pictures from this Vientiane & Luang Prabang stage of the holiday can be found
