We crossed into Laos three days ago and hopped onto what they call a slow boat for a two-day ride down the Mekong river. Thankfully, it was slightly faster than a canoe. It's a pretty well travelled route for backpackers and our boat was full of young 20-something and only a few locals.
The Mekong is the colour of butterscotch pudding. I wasn't tempted to taste it.
It was a fun boat ride for the most part although the wooden bench seats could have been a tad more comfortable. The surrounding hills were quite pretty. Lush green. From the border crossing to Luang Prabang there are only a few villages along the river. Sometimes our boat would stop so that one of the workers could pick up a large lizard from a village. I guess they sell well in town?
