Lost on Earth

The border to Laos just reopened, and I will leave from Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang tomorrow to renew my visa! I will take a bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong, then I will board a slow boat on the Mekong river that will travel for two days into the northern part of Laos, to the old colonial city, which looks like this: http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/Laos/North/Louangphabang/Luang_Prabang/

After that, provided the borders are still open, I'll return to Thailand and to Mae Hong Son - I already miss the kids!
