Cycle Tour Day 12 (last day), 65km. Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its old French architecture and numerous Buddhist Temples. A choice of Asian & English brekky on the deck overlooking the pool and gardens kicked off a great day. Leisurely start at 9am to ride away through the city to the Kuangsi Waterfalls & National Park. Real interesting ride past some very grand houses and the into the hilly rural areas. Why are waterfalls on top of big hills!? However there were also some nice downhill runs. It was good to sit at the back of the pack, take my time and just absorb this last day of the cycle tour. Beside the waterfalls and a surrounding rainforest, the park turned out to be part of an Asian bear breeding program to save the bears. Of course the bears are stupidly prized for all sorts of Chinese medicine stuff, which is disgusting. Although the bears were "behind a fence" it all looked fairly natural and humane with plenty of room to wander and play. The series of waterfalls and rapids were very pretty. Some braved a swim in the surprisingly cold water; while I settled for a paddle. After a local lunch near the carpark we set off back to the motel. A fantastic ride to end a great tour. Once at the motel we removed our pedals and reluctantly handed the bikes back. Dinner was provided at a cultural experience restaurant on the outer edge of the inner city. Despite the touristy feel the food was great. Had a wander through the night markets, then walked home.
