10-24 (Tuesday)

We woke up bitching about the room this morning. We discussed checking out but didn’t want the hassle.

When we saw the manager she said our old room was available! We’re moving and now we’re happy. We can quit bitching.

We got all our stuff together so the hotel staff could move it then we headed off to the bank to get some MONEY! We didn’t want t6o get too much because we’re leaving tomorrow and we don’t want to get stuck with it.

We had a lovely breakfast at our French Restaurant then leisurely walked through some parts of town we hadn’t explored before. We shopped, I took pictures, we shopped, I went to the Wat Zieng Thong Temple and Joyce shopped!

The Wat Zieng Thong Temple (Luang Prabang’s most awesome) was constructed in 1559. One of the smaller chapels contains several funeral urns and a 40 foot wooden chariot hearse.

The sun was blazing so we went back to our bitch free room to rest, cool off and repack for tomorrow’s journey.

Late this afternoon we went to the museum but it was closed on Tuesdays. We’re hoping to get down there early in the morning before we have to go to the airport at 11:30.

We had dinner at one of our favorite places and now we’re at the net.
