Couchfish Day 45: On tak bat and UNESCO in Luang Prabang

Deposited at the base of Wat Xieng Thong the previous day, we climb the uneven stairs to the road. Opposite lay the temple, behind, the amber waters of the Mekong. Above, palms sway along Khem Khong Road which hugs the length of the bank. Cyclists and the occasional scooter pass us. Monks.
