Time travelling in Luang Prabang

I've been reading a series of books for months (Outlander by Gabaldon) about time travellers. Sometimes it feels like we must be time travelling. We often have conversations like, "I can't believe we only left Vang Vieng 2 days ago. It feels like we have been in Luang Prabang for a week already!"  Each day is filled with so many new experiences that 1 day feels like about 3 days. 

We are currently in Luang Prabang.   It is a peaceful, remote city nestled in the hills beside the Mekong River in Northern Laos. It is a quiet place but rich with visual, cultural and dining delights. 

Here are some photos capturing a typical day:

It's going to be hard to return to the pace of normal life after this trip!
