Slow boat down the Mekong

Ah Laos.... everything is much slower here, like a step back in time. Just arrived in Luang Prabang after an epic slow boat journey down the Mekong from the Thai border. The scenery was amazing - limestone cliffs, forested hills and jungle down to the river, and occasionally a jungle hut village and beach by the Mekong with locals waving to the boat.....such a great way to travel, the hardness of the seats was soon forgotten!
