We arrive in Luang Prabang, finally the holidays:) Here we go 6 days, easy! ... to "grip" the donut briskly, getting up late, get a massage all around, listening to the rhythm of the gongs Buddhist morning at 5 o'clock ...

In Luang Prabang gardeners make their gardens at the end of the rainy season



Departure for a day elephant, kayak



The last day before leaving Luang Prabang, we go kayaking, but we will first offers a 30 minutes Elephant! With our large animal that could, we cross a broad river turquoise with lime for bearings. At an elephant, it's fantastic to see how this animal can be clever! After this great adventure in big elephant that could, we bathe in cold water course upstream of elephant poop ... and after that, a good 3 hours of kayaking has quietly on the current slide. What a beautiful day ...





Our charming guide Puma!



The village of Pak Ben, stop between two boats


.. . Now north of Laos! Here we boarded a "long boat" for two days, also called a "slow boat". It's a big boat that looks like a big banana in the direction of the length, with wooden benches, not all comfortable ... but the first day, we are fortunate in our boat, there are 8 banks of "char" and we're sitting on top of Forth! What luxury! especially since we have eight hours of time floating on the Mekong River, against the current ... First night in the village of Pak Beng, halfway to the village of Huay Xai, which will be our final destination of Laos. Pak Beng, is a small village that operates with generator and from 10 pm, everything stops, it's black titi ... The day after we leave, another good eight hours travel by boat but this time on a wooden bench hard ... But as Peter and I are a little rebellious, we take the cushions for the rear of the boat and sleep on the floor almost the entire trip during ... :) Finally is bliss! ...




... arrived in Huay Xai, we walk with our heavy bags up to our guesthouse and it rest, until our big trip to the Lao jungle! ...




Although ... voila! the wise advice of my friend Sonia, we are registered for three days two nights Gibbon Experience, www.gibbonx.org . From the village of Huay Xai, we will drive 67km, 15 km from 4x4 truck in the mud (we cross a river!), 2:30 hours walking in the jungle, including mosquitoes and mud! From there, the magic begins, in the jungle, our small group of 8 enfilons harnesses to esca SICK AND acrochés on iron son, we glide from tree to tree. Through the mountains, "zipping" as we call them, have a length of 160 to 380 meters and the height can reach up to 150 meters! Sonia, I understand you !!!!! ...


... is one of our most halucinante experiences of the trip! And unfortunately no photos does this happiness ... That's not all! To sleep, we're meant to "zip" up our tree, because that is where we sleep, in a large tree to 30 feet above the jungle. It is a hut or 8 people can sleep, eat and play dice with ease! Rather unusual facts, there is water currents in our log cabin, with toilet and shower (cold anyway!). What a wonderful experience to play dice with newly met friends in the jungle !!...
