An awesome place! An amazing journey! How developed was the tourist infrastructure? Was it hard to get around? What guidebook did you use?

Hi there, Travel Luver, Thank-you for your comment. Laos is an awesome place, indeed! In the main tourist centres of Northern Laos, especially Luang Prabang, I found the tourist infra structure to be well developed. In the smaller towns, and away from the usual tourist route, there were very few hotels but Guest Houses were common. Getting around included river travel and local buses. I found river travel the most comfortable although the boats were sometimes crowded. I've seen some blogs...

Thanks, Jill! That's very helpful info.

Where’s that, most people asked when I told them we were off to Laos.  And that about sums up the attraction -- I like getting off the beaten track, at home and abroad.
