Photos | Bus from Vang Vieng, Laos to Luang Prabang

The bus transfer from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang slowly snaked it’s way up, down and twisting around the mountains, as too many fellow passengers slept and watched movies, oblivious to the beauty around them. I caught myself holding my breath every time we passed a slower moving truck, gasping in awe at the incredible, breathtaking scenery. Below are some of my photos.
