| The next day, we rented a motorbike and headed out into the countryside to find the famous Kuang Si Falls, supposedly some of the prettiest waterfalls in Southeast Asia. |
 |
| Some terraced rice paddy fields. |
 |
| Close to the waterfalls, we parked the bike and walked along a woodland path. |
 |
| Passing a bear sanctuary. |
 |
| It didn't take long to reach Kuang Si Falls. From here on out, we would climb a hill and pass dozens of turquoise, terraced falls that looked straight out of a fairytale. |
 |
| Paradise on Earth. |
 |
| The highlight of Kuang Si is this towering cascade of perfect water, easily the most beautiful waterfall either of us have seen. |
 |
| At one point we tried reaching the top of the waterfall via a steep path in the woods, but due to inclement weather we decided it wasn't worth the slippery climb. |
 |
| Riding back towards Luang Prabang. |
 |
| Caught this nice view of the city in the distance. |
 |
| That evening we ate at Lao Lao Garden again, this time accompanied by some friendly cats. |
Luang Prabang was an appropriately relaxed introduction to Laos, a country which is itself remarkably tranquil compared to its nearby neighbours. The town was full of colour and pretty sights, and Kuang Si Falls were a great taster of the beauty to be found in the countryside. We would soon take a bus south to Vang Vieng, the party capital of Laos, where we would find even more stunning scenery to enjoy.
