The Last of Laos :(

This tugboat literally pushed us on our 'ferry boat' to the other side of the river.

I really loved Laos, what an amazing country that just makes you want to chill out and relax. Partly because you had too, like I said previously everything shuts down so early. (Apparently if you are a real keener and want to party there are a few late night places which I did manage to find one night in Luang Prabang but still was very low key). But partly was because you just wanted to soak in all the beauty and enjoy just watching the livelihood of the local people here.
But for day trips, Laos has some amazing countryside which was great to explore! Just when I started to think big deal, another waterfall, I saw the most amazing waterfalls here that were enormous! Some of them you go to all prepared with bathing suit and towel thinking a cool dip would feel so great but they were so powerful and forceful you didn't even dare try swimming in or near them.
