First impressions of Luang Prabang

After a 55-minute flight from Hanoi, we arrived in Luang Prabang this morning. Our guest house overlooks the shallow Nam Khan river, where fishermen cast their nets from pole boats, young boys float in inner tubes, and Buddhist monks in saffron robes cross a bamboo foot bridge. After the chaos of Hanoi, Luang Prabang is idyllic. The architecture is picturesque, and food so far is excellent.
