Spent the day exploring the town to orientate ourselves. We have nearly four days here and Luang Prabang is not that big, all accessible on foot.
Soon realised than we were lucky to have hit the day/night of a special festival where boats are made of bamboo frame, covered with paper and decorated with dragons on top with lots of candles. These are then paraded throug the town after it gets dark, lots of banging of drums and general celebration.the whole town is alight with candles, oil lights and Chinese lanterns set into the night sky. A fantastic spectacle
Booked a restaurant with a nice first floor balcony and watched the spectacle from there.
