After breakfast we moved out of the Heritage House and into the Luang Prabang Bakery Guest House. After the AC at Heritage House which had no controls, the AC of Luang Prabang Bakery Guest House was perfect. The bathroom was clean, well lit, not smelly and dry!

That afternoon we had picked up a flier from a local boy advertising the Ngam Laie Theatre Royal Ballet. They were having a music and dance event that evening. We headed out for the Theatre about 7:00pm. It's a small simple Theatre. The orchestra comprised of a xylaphone like instrument, Laotian drums and a couple of Laotian stringed instruments. It was lovely sitting listening to them before the main event started.
The main event was a Chapter from the Ramayana. The devils and gods throughout the act were local highschool students or early 20-something boys and girls. Their movements were elegant, well timed and they portrayed their characters with peace and joy.

Afterwards we had a lovely time back at our Guest House talking with the waiters and waitresses, who were all eager to practise their English in a relaxed and easy way.
We found out that the naga headed cloth hanger we got for Bonnie and Darren is supposed to be good to get a boy baby! Oops!
