We had a day cruising around on bikes and visited all the sights (I only lasted a couple of hours ). This is another tourist area but a very nice city.
We visited the waterfalls on Christmas day where we saw some Sun bears.
I was not getting better so we decided to fly to Chiang Mai in Thailand for superior medical treatment.
Bike Tour of Luang Prabang
The royal palace
There were some interesting pictures on the outside of some of the buildings in the complex
A large buddha shrine
We crossed the 'old bridge'. A bridge only for motorbikes, bikes and pedestrians.
The daily night market.
We climbed to the top of Phu Si to watch the sunset over the city alone with 100 other people.
There were great views from the Wat at the top
Very nice
Christmas Day
Christmas Day in Luang Prabang. We got each other these cool animal stuffed toys from the markets
Kuang Si Waterfalls. There were several cascades and waterfalls over limestone formations into big green pools

At the entrance to the waterfalls there were several Sun Bears that had been rescued from poachers. They were all playing with each other in their enclosures.
The sun bears are quite small compared to a panda or black bear
