My room in Luang Prabang, though very well situated along the Mekong and a half-block from the Tak Bat (morning alms collection), is a bit sparse...toilet and shower room (meaning, shower, toilet, same, sink leaks out onto floor, encouraging one to just use the shower to wash one's hands since it all ends up on the floor anyway. Of course the room is very clean and has daily maid service and water. It's just very low-brow compared to previous. I came very close to changing, but when the internet came back on, decided to stay.
Walked around the city, found Ock Pop Tok, enjoyed sitting by the Mekong eating "river weeds."
There are two bamboo bridges in Luang Prabang connecting Luang Prabang with the opposite bank across the Nam Khan River. I paid 7000 kip (about $1) to walk both ways. I must say it was awfully wobbly...it would never have gone over in the states.
