Our cycling group out for a few beers. From the left Dino (New Zealand), Suzy (GB), Sebastien and Delphine (Switzerland), Jocelyn (U.S.), Chris (GB), Dea (Denmark), Adam (Australia). What a great group of new friends...and all with the same goal to explore the world.

Carpenter monks building a fine structure. It is interesting that they are using power tools while most Lao people use hand tools. And what is funny is that right before I took this picture they all stopped and stared at a pretty girl in short shorts as she passed by them. I guess you can't take the "male" out of a monk.

After walking around Luang Prabang for a few days we decided to take a "tuk tuk" back to our guest house. Fun ride.
