One of the things we’ve missed in Asia is tuk tuks. Yes, I know they are environmental pigs but they’re so Asia. Upon our arrival in LP we were picked up in a tuk tuk. Naiyas first!
 |
| First tuk tuk ride ever |
- Utopia - chill out bar restaurant which N and I love. Filled with bean bags, bolsters and couches. Sleeping at the restaurant is a-ok. Something N has done twice.

- LP appears to be the capital of smoothies. I’ve never seen so many smoothie stalls in my life. Haven’t had a chance to try yet.
 |
| Smoothies for as long as the eye can see |
- weather- it’s slightly less humid here esp at night. We are still sweating profusely make no mistake about that but a little more bearable at night.
- English- there appear to be a lot of students here wanting to learn English so they are eager to engage with tourists to practice
- Beerlao is the common beer here
- first 2 nights stayed in an awesome guest house - Cold River - eco friendly and great attention to detail

- we haven’t purchased one plastic water bottle since getting here. Yay for water bottle refills and for our $70 water bottles!
- discovered a fantastic family owned restaurant called Bamboo Garden. High ratings and very friendly owners who ended up sending us home with some sort of fruit.
 |
| Chef at Bamboo Garden. Lovely family restaurant. |
- they have a fear factor tour here which involves eating gross food. No intention of doing it but saw some of the delicacies at the market (see 7th pic down)
- awesomely huge market every night
 |
| Pancakes! |
