Kuang Si waterfalls are absolutely stunning. You know the cliche expression "pictures don't do it justice"? Well, it applies 100% here. The water has a perfect turquoise color, and the rock formations create dozens of small natural infinity pools. I suggest not going with a tour, which usually gives you 2h there. Instead, arrange your own transportation and spend the whole day if possible.

I woke up very early today to see the sunrise from famous Mount Phousi. We were lucky to get clear skies. Luang Prabang is a very walkable city, so I was able to do most of the touristy things on my list today. We then tried "Sabai" (Lao BBQ) and checked out the bowling alley everyone keeps talking about: it was lots of fun 🎳!

Day 2 of the slow boat. We left Pak Beng at 9 and got to Luang Prabang around 5:30. The riverside scenery was mostly the same throughout the day, briefly interrupted by small villages with happy kids playing in the river and waving at the boat, or by wild buffalos roaming around the shore. Once in Luang Prabang, a group of travelers I met on the boat and I went to explore the famous night market of the city.
