Day 11 - Woke up at 530am trying to catch the monks recieving alms on the street in Luang Prabang. Today was the last morning i stayed here. I went to Joma bakery for toast n coffee for breakfast. Apparently they served the best coffee in town n was true. It was very good.
Caught an 830 minibus to Nong Khiaw. It was a 4 hour bus ride to the North from here. I met a british traveller, Zaid, in the bus. So we decided to check out Nong Khiaw together. The 4 hr ride wasn quite pleasant when you had a company to talk to.
Nong Khiaw was a very small town, surrounded by mountains. Beautiful scenery but that was what it got. nothing much else. We went to the cave, walked throu some rice field. few hours walk. On the way, we saw people bathing in the drain, more like a village gathering i guess.
The bungalow i stayed was ok. got all the basic stuff you needed. very very basic. the light n the heater didn't work thou. so i had to shower in cold water in the dark with my torch on. didn't really enjoy that part.
I have been really bad in keeping things somehow in this trip. after my ipod n my pen, i lost the room lock n the key. It was a bit annoying as i continuously loosing stuff in this trip, wasn't too impressive so far.
No reception or internet in Nong Khiaw either. It's been fun exploring the unknown but i stated to doubt how long i can live like this seriously. i do appreciate all i have at home.
