Basically the city was very easy to navigate. I strolled
around the city on the following day. Firstly, I had my breakfast in a nearby café at
around 7.30 am. I was still with the Malaysian’s breakfast time while the
locals were no where to be seen, except some early risers. The city has three
main attractions: the Chapel and Cathedral, Albayzin area and Alhambra. The
Cathedral is situated right in the middle of the town. Chapel is next to it. So getting there was easy. Nothing spectacular to be seen here though. The main façade was nice, but not too
impressive. Around the town, in some hiddened corner, graffiti was aplenty. I
think this is universal in every corner of the city around the world.
Category: Travel OK, time is catching up. I have about 3 weeks left before the trip. Have drafted out initial itinerary: 6 May - Fly to BKK and transit to Udon Thani. From Udon Thani, go to Nong Khai and cross over Laos border. Immigration office opens until 10pm. Hope to reach Vientiane before midnite. 7 May - Excursion around Vientiane. 8 May - Travel to Vang Vieng. Not really want to spend 11 hours on the bus to get to Luang Prabang. Have a pit stop will be nicer. 9 May - Continue to Luang Prabang. 10 May - Excursion around Luang Prabang. 11 May - Slow boat to Pak Beng. Mandatory pit stop due to slowliness of the boat. 12 May - Slow boat to Huoy Xai. I guess have to over night here (immigration office might be closed at time of arrival). 13 May - Cross over to Thailand. Might not stay in Chiang Rai. Proceed to Chiang Mai. 14 May -Back to Malaysia.
