For our second last day we headed further north towards Chau Doc and covering some of the highlights in that area – including travelling along the border to Cambodia.

During my last night in Cho Lach I decided to head to Tra Vinh next. Speaking to Tan I realised quickly I had to change several busses and a ferry – but I was sure I could manage that…

After the two days on the slow boat I was finally back in Luang Prabang, nearly 2 years after my first visit. And I must admit, I was smiling like a little child before they get presents for Christmas – I was happy to be back in this charming town.
