A Mekong Sunset for the end of 2016

As the sun sets on 2016 here is a sunset over the Mekong from Vientiane.

Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2017.

The blog will be on a break for the next two weeks.

More to come in the NEW YEAR.

Relaxing by the Green Door

Hopefully this time between Christmas and New Year is time to relax.  Luang Prabang is a very relaxing town.  I liked these green doors and striped chairs ready to relax and perhaps read in for a while.

More Lanterns

Another Lantern

The decorations are still up.  Here is another star lantern from Luang Prabang.

Monday Monk on a Mobile

While his mates were making paper lanterns for the lantern festival to mark the end of Buddhist Lent this young man sat under a lantern playing on his mobile. 

Merry Christmas
