Day 130 - 31st October
So it's Halloween. What should be a scary affair from ghosts or ghouls is instead taking the form of my Laos mini van driver. This guy turned up an hour late for my 8:30 am pick up and drove like he was trying to hit 88mph and go into time travel. We were all bouncing around on the rocky road in the mountains towards Luang Prabang and he didn't seem to care.
Four hours later and more shaken and stirred than Bond's vodka martini, I arrived at Luang's bus station. I shared a Tuk Tuk with three Chinese people and ended up in the heat in the middle of my new city.
I eventually found The Central Backpackers Hostel after a good wander and a lunch stop and settled in. It's a nice place.
I met up with Matthius again and we strolled around the night market, down by the Mekong and had sandwiches and fruit shakes for dinner. Afterwards we headed to an Australian sports bar for Chelsea v.s. Liverpool then United v.s. Palace. Not a bad start to Luang Prabang.
