Muang Ngoi - what joy!

After the hustle and bustle of Luang Prabang, we decided to head off the beaten track to Muang Ngoi via Nong Kiau. So by 'bus' and by boat we ended up an hour away up the Nam Ou from the nearest road...

 
Our chariot awaits...
  
Mmm comfy boat seats!
  
  
Muang Ngoi harbour
 
The High Street
We stayed on the river side for about a pound each in a bamboo hut with hammocks!
 
  
Yes there were ducks, but there were also effing chickens which is not that much fun at dawn when they live under your house...
So with such an alarm as nature provides, we rose and shone and set off to trek into the mountains of the area with some friendly Austrians :)

 
 Friendly Austrians Liv and Andreas.

 Bath time for Matty!
  
Here's us climbing up to another waterfall. Big Whoop. Isn't life taxing? - Waterfalls are our campaniles (this one's for Matt's dad)!
After 2 days the chickens proved too much for us and we headed back to Luang Prabang playing silly games with our bus friends!
