No place for a point 'n' shoot





Luang Prabang, the old capital of Laos, is a city that makes you wish you were a better photographer. It would be easy to spend weeks here wandering around the sights, and getting to grips with the varying light and haze. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site though, and the locals are now adept at finding ways of parting travellers on the grand tour (with Angkor Wat) from their cash. When the first price you hear on getting off the bus is in dollars, you know you're going to have to a time finding a bargain. It is unbelivably beautiful though. If only I could do it justice.
