1 May 2014 – Luang Prabang, Laos
A magical ride on a bamboo raft at the top of Kuang Si Waterfall outside of Luang Prabang, Laos. The Kuang Si waterfall is majestic on its own, but this guy kind of made our day with a short ride through the jungle. Totally worth the climb to find the secret spot)

30 April 2014 – Luang Prabang, Laos
We stayed at the cutest little guesthouse in Luang Prabang – Xaychaleuang. Xaychaleuang is run by a nice Japanese lady, is very modern (think Japan!) and totally cute. If you can find it, and its not full, its totally worth a little bit extra. The magical balcony that looks over a cute ally with full display

29 April 2014 – En route to Luang Prabang, Laos
Day 1 of our first unsupervised motorcycle trip. Her name is Indi, and we purchased her in Vang Vieng. She carried us, plus all of our luggage up and down some steep hills between Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang. She did well 🙂

28 April 2014 – Vang Vieng, Laos
You know that nice little guest house from yesterday? Well it came with puppies! Three of them — Pepsi, Pancake and Sandwich. How could those three not be your favorites?!

27 April 2014 – Vang Vieng, Laos
Another look at the karst mountains in Vang Vieng. We were very lucky to find a nice little room, perched high above a restaurant, and secluded from other guests to enjoy this view for a few days.

26 April 2014 – Vang Vieng, Laos
Have you ever wondered why Vang Vieng became the party central of Laos? I think there are several good reasons. It’s a midway stop between Vientiane and Luangprabang. It’s pretty damn good looking, but there isn’t much else to do. Except for stare at the beautiful nature, and you know, float down a fast moving

23 April 2014 – Vientiane, Laos
More wats! Vientiane is full of them, and they are seriously strikingly beautiful. Don’t listen to the naysayers who say that Vientiane isn’t worth a visit — it totally is! Just look at these wats. ) Also featured – the national stuppa that is depicted on Lao Kip.

22 April 2014 – Vientiane, Laos
A stroll down the main road of the capital — Lane Xang. Also a stop into the Wat Sisaket, the oldest temple in Vientiane, and the only one which survived the sacking of the city by the Siamese in 1828. Oops — that’s totally not what I said in the video. Got my history a

21 April 2014 – Vietniane, Laos
We are in the capital of Laos, Vientiane. The waterfront of the Mekong river seems to be a popular spot at dusk, and we definitely enjoyed surveying the scene. Have a look for yourself!

20 April 2014 – Blue Lagoon, Thakhek, Laos
Final day of Thakek Loop. On our way back from Thong Lor cave we decided to break the journey back to town with a visit to the Blue Lagoon. There was conflicting information on the internets about how easy it was to reach this mythical swimming hole. We persevered and were rewarded with emerald, crystal

19 April 2014 – Kong Lor, Laos
End of delightful Day 2 of Thakhek Loop, we stopped in the Thong Lor village right outside the famous 7.5 km cave. The cave comes complete with a river, a boat trip, and is definitely worth the trip. As is the countryside in Thong Lor – just beautiful.

18 April 2014 – Thang La, Laos
Day 1 of Thakhek Loop, otherwise known as Kong Lor Loop, or just simply the Loop. Breathtaking landscape, ancient Buddha caves, some sweet cold springs, and paved (for the most part) road is the magic formula for this three day escape. We break for the night at Phosy guesthouse in Thang La village. Hammock time!
