Today I joined the boat at Pak Beng and continued the journey to Luang Prabang. It continued to be a beautiful trip. It took 8 hours to get there. After arriving in Luang Prabang I checked into my hotel for 56,000 Kip ($7.00 Australian) and we to a local market for dinner. A meal cost me 10,000 Kip ($1.25 aust) and a large bottle of beer Laos at the same price.
