Luang Prabang, Laos

Waterfall #1
In Luang Prabang, Laos, Hailey and I took a day trip to see the largest waterfall in the country. The waterfall park is also home to a rescued tiger and some bears (which I didn't get any pictures of.)



Elephant Tour and Waterfall#2
We booked a tour through an Elephant Trekking company in town and took a jeep about 45 minutes out of town. There is a beautiful resort here where you can book weekends to learn to become a mahout (elephant driver). We each tried it out for 10 minutes or so. All of the elephants here have been rescued from logging labor and poor treatment.
