TukTuks come in many forms. The most common form is the previously mentioned motorcycle turned into a tricycle with a bench seat thrown on the back. The other day, we rode to a water fall outside Luang Prabang in a vehicle with a truck for the front end. It still has the pimpin' tuktuk paint job, and it also lacks any kind of exhaust system (catalytic converter and muffler, which makes you rather woozy after inhaling the fumes for 28 km).
As if the fumes weren't bad enough, the road was nice and curvy. But we were treated to views of wildlife, or rather livestock life, on the side of the road. Even saw a few good candidates for a dowry, although I doubt they could yodel.
The waterfall was impressive. Because of all the monsoon rain, the water was flowing high and brown. Turns out this is a boon for the leeches, as Molly and Kirsty found out the hard way.
