After a delicious hotel breakfast we took a slow walk down to the Mekong River. We first crossed as a pedestrian over the road bridge. George thought it looked like an army Bailey bridge. Let's say the walk over was interesting - moving planks (new, old and damaged) and loose screws holding them in place 😱 We walked about fifteen minutes along the river and crossed back the other way using the Bamboo bridge. This is built during the dry season and foreigners are charged 50p to cross. It actually felt much safer than the road bridge! In the rainy season the bamboo bridge is swept away by the rising river. We remain impressed by the stunning views over the Mekong and mountains. After a morning's walk we returned to the pool for an afternoon relax. We are getting into the Luang Prabang chilled out mood ☺️ #Luang Prabang #Laos #Mekong
