White Fluid Before Period Movies

Luang Prabang

Our next stop is Luang Prabang on the bank of the Mekong river, only 400 km north from Vientiane But The Bus Takes More Than 10 hours! We tried to take a flight but all of them were fully booked, so we have no choice.
The road to Luang Prabang is a small, country road through the high mountains with a lot of curves and now we understand why it takes so long time.
The landscape and the views were really beautiful, but the trip had some moments of horror!
In few places more then half of the road was missing because of landslides, but the bus driver just drove over almost with two wheels in the air! Imagine that down there was more than 500 m.
When we finally reached Luang Prabang we got a big surprise, we expected everything but not a town like this in the middle of nowhere, with nice charming houses, proper foot ways and roads, many dainty restaurants nice decorated and the guesthouses which Could cost 100 or 200 USD. The only habited places
we Passed on the way to Luang Prabang were small groups of people WHERE bamboo houses Had only one place to take water (made by Australians help org or Rotary) Where Were people washing Themselves on the side on the road. So imagine
Our surprise!

Our next stop is Luang Prabang on the banks of the Mekong river, just 400 km north of Vientiane by bus but it takes more than 10 hours! We try to fly, but all flights were full so we had no choice.
The road to Luang Prabang is like the old road between Benalmadena and Mijas right through high mountains and twisty and now if we understand it takes more than 10 hours.
The terrain and the views were breathtaking, but the trip had its moments of terror.
In some places more than half of the road had disappeared by landslides and was a cliff about 500 m. The driver of the bus went through almost two wheels in the air.
LP When we finally got a big surprise. We expected anything but a town like this in the middle of nowhere, with charming houses, sidewalks and streets well made, beautiful scenery and fine restaurants where a small hotel room could cost 100 to 200 dollars U.S..
The only inhabited places we went on our trip to LP were small clusters of bamboo houses where the only water source was a well done by una ONG y donde la gente se publico en lavaba al lado de la carretera. Asi que
imaginense nuestra sorpresa!


Our next goal is to Luang Prabang on the Mekong, Vientiane away from just 400km to the north, but the bus trip takes over 10 hours! We tried to take a plane, but to our surprise there was no vacancy, so we had no choice.
road to Luang Prabang is a small, mole, and narrow and leads sent high mountains, so now we understand why the trip takes 10 hours.
scenery and views were really beautiful, but the trip took place is not without moments of terror.
In some places it was lacking more than half of the roadway because of the slipping slope, and the driver is not paying any attention to, without batting an eye Came over the precipice, bearing nearly two wheels in the air. Imagine that the gap had a good 500m.
When we got in the end to Luang Prabang we were very surprised, we could expect to everything, but no such town as those situated where "dogs bark chicks."
town with nice houses, decent sidewalks and roadways, many cool restaurants and small boutique hotels where it can cost you 100 or 200 U.S. dollars.
On the way to Luang Prabang we saw only small, poor clusters of bamboo houses, where people are taking water from wells, made FOR IN Australian aid organizations and people confuse the public in August at the edge of the road with this one point whence they drew water.
So just imagine our surprise!
