On the 1st September, we celebrated our 5 year anniversary with a little splashing around in the pool and a climb up Mount Phousi. Mount Phousi is a hill right in the centre of Luang Prabang. 355 stairs later (according to a friendly passer by...), we arrived at the top where there were amazing views across the town and busy monks painting the temple.

After all our strenuous climbing up the 'Mount' (hill) we settled down for a trip down the river at sunset.

From one boat to the next... We enjoyed a 'boat' of traditional Lao food at our hotel. There were 7 dishes in all. All were pretty yummy except the dried river weed...

After we got back to our room, we heard a little knock at the door, and two staff members appeared with this cake. It was pretty huge and we were stuffed from our dinner boat, so we managed to shovel some down the next day before we checked out, and shared the rest with the staff. There was quite a collection of decorations on top... a polar bear, race car, gold money and roses?! Also, the cake sponge was green inside...
