Laos Map

Map of Laos (from Lonely Planet website)

Here is a map of Laos, if you needed a geography lesson..... We crossed at Huay Xai and took a boat down the Mekong River, overnighting in the town of Pakbeng and now arrived in the big city of Luang Prabang, where we will spend a few days. More on the float later, I forgot my cable to download photos. First observations are that Laos is very wild and undeveloped and saw many hill tribe villages along the river.

The map is great to get an idea of where you are. Your photos have been terrific.

Merry Christmas and have a joyous New Year's Eve and Day in Laos -- it will probably be a big deal celebration there.

Hi, Christmas isn't celebrated here, but not sure what new years eve will be like, depends on if we are a city or not. If not in a city, it probably won't be celebrated at all. If in a city, there are many tourists, so should be a celebration somewhere.....
