Landing in Luang Prabang, Laos

13 Apr 2016
We took a prop plane from Vietnam to Laos. We landed late Wednesday night in a tiny, tiny airport in Luang Prabang. We took a taxi van from the airport to our hostel and it only cost us 25,000 laotian kip, or 3 USD. Once we got to the hostel, our first mission was to find food. We told ourselves we weren't going to eat street food (we had been warned that the quality wasn't great), but after walking for about 45 minutes and finding nothing else, we decided to try our luck. We ate at a sandwich stand but promised one another we would only order toppings that couldn't spoil: avocado, tomato and lettuce sandwiches for us! While there we met Ali and Rachael, two girls we spent a decent amount of time with while in Laos. They entertained us with tales of their horrible travel experiences while we ate our sandwiches and crossed our fingers that we wouldn't get sick.
