A Day on the Mekong
Luang Prabang is a charming and picturesque town that sits on a peninsula between the Khan River and the famous Mekong River. Growing up during the Vietnam war, we heard a lot about the Mekong, and we were curious to explore a few miles of this great tributary. My travel agent (George) selected a well reviewed company which offers a day trip up and down the river on a long, wide, and flat boat. Lunch (very important) and 2 popular ( but really ho-hum) tourist stops were part of the tour. Mostly we enjoyed cruising along the river.
