Back in Luang Prabang after short 2 day sojourn in Muong Ngoi. Nice small village by the river. There were no roads connecting it, so the only way to get there was by boat. Fairly pleasant town. The trip on the other hand was hellish. The one hour boat road was in a longtail boat crammed to the gills like a can of sardines. You sit on a super low bench and you are stuck there for one hour. Not very pleasant. Easy for the legs to go numb from the loss of circulation.
The local 'bus' is not really a bus at all. The bus is a converted pick up truck with two benches against the sides and tiny children chairs along the middle. These chairs are wooden hardened instruments of torture for any unfortunate falang to travel the local bus in Laos.
One thing that really bugged me was that there was a German family throwing their banana peels and orange peels out the window. Would they do that in Germany? No... So why do it when you travel. It sets a bad example for Lao people on how to behave and gives tourists a bad name for Lao people who know better
