a-wandering wednesday: hello, laos!

after several weeks of constant motion, laos was exactly what we needed!  our first experience with laos involved a sunrise border crossing, two incredibly relaxing days on a longboat floating down the mekong river,  an overnight in a sleepy riverside town where we were awoken in the morning by elephants bathing on the riverbank below, and a visit to a strange riverside cave filled with thousands of buddha statues. 

up next week, a visit to luang prabang!

catch up on the previous stops in our trip here: batangas, palawan, boracay, bangkok, chiang mai, and the white temple.
