January 20, 2011 Utopia

Ran into someone from the boat who suggested we check out a place called Utopia.  And why would anyone not want to see Utopia.  We headed down a windy alley and came upon these large gate doors, headed into the sprawling area.  First part was very bar like but towards the back there's a terrace overlooking the Nam Ou (river).  Bamboo floor and roof, open sides, mats on the floor, interesting menu.  It was an excellent place to chill.  On our way out we noticed that the landscaping had incorporated a bunch of bomb casings, the first time we'd seen it in Laos.  It's actually really common to see once you get out of the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang.  You can't really see any here, but you can see how lovely the landscaping is.  We went back a few more times before we settled on the Book and Tea as our preferred hangout.
