Luang Prabang
We made it to Luang Prabang and it really resembles Cajamarca.
We landed, went to the end of the runway, did a U-turn, and went to the terminal. It's very small.
We went to the Waterfalls with a driver who picked us up from the airport. On the ride from the airport to the hotel, we booked him for the next day. He was great, had very good English, and was very informative.
The waterfalls are the Kuang Si Falls. We were told it was best to get there before the rest of the tourists. Luang Prabang is getting ready for an increase in tourism, and it was evident as we made our way to the Falls. The road was heavily under construction and was quite a challenge to get both there and back. Back was especially challenging with a few games of chicken with steam rollers and back hoes and other tourist buses coming in the opposite direction.

On the way back we stopped for a water buffalo cheese and ice cream tasting at a farm.
