| Visiting a temple near Luang Prabang |
Luang Prabang is a very touristy town. However, we didn't come here for the happy hour and all night partying and pricey tourist restaurants and cafes. We came because we wanted to do adventure tours through the Lao countryside. We opted for the Lao triathlon: bicycling, kayaking and elephanting.

First off, we rode mountain bikes along a stretch of what will probably one day become a motorway and is currently a road construction zone. The ride took us from town into the suburbs and out into remote villages.

Next, it was an elephant ride through a jungle.

And finally, kayaking back down to where we started.

After an adventure packed day we took advantage of the happy hour bars in Luang Prabang for some local beer tasting.
