Cocktails before dinner



Our hosts at the Mekong Estate kindly hosted cocktail drinks to welcome us.  Took this pic before everything was set up, the backdrop was just to die for.  The owners knew I was from Vietnam and layed on a fried spring rolls, fresh rolls and a gorgeous vegetarian wrap.

We were sorry we had to go, but dinner calls at a local restaurant.  Walter had read about some local Luang Prabang specialties including:



River weed in sauce made from dried buffalo skin, the river weed looks I guess like sea weed!



And watercress salad.



We also ordered something random from the menu which turned out to be a soup with a strong flavoured herb, tasted very local!
