At the Thai-Lao border (Lao side):

Took a while to get our visas and paperwork done but finally we're all smiles and ready to roll!

Arriving at the mighty Mekong:

Crossing the Mekong:

We're now in Luang Prabang- fantastic beautiful city, but a bit lacking in night life

Our route from Pak Beng to Luang Prabang:

Overall I've been very impressed by the quality of the roads here in Laos. There were about 80 km of incredibly ROUGH road between Houaylin and Pak Mong, but otherwise it was all good.

Pretty slow internet in this town. Will post up more pics when I find a better connection.

Happy Trails!

It's always great to see these kind of trip reports when you are stuck working miles away, thanks for sharing!

We're all back in one piece!

Cool trip! Laos certainly isn't Thailand!

Need to get caught up with work and ready for BIRA on Saturday.

Will post up a proper trip report soon!
