A day out to the waterfall n the caves

Day 9 of my travelling. We decided to go somewhere further outside Luang Prabang. Woke up again at 8am this morning. how amazing my life seem more behaving than back home. sleep early, wake up early nice n fresh. Had the same breakfast again but in a different resturant by the river.

We hire a tuk tuk for the day to driving us around for the day. We went to the caves by the river. a bit of a let down really. it wasn't quite a cave as only 5 mins walk inside the cave you have to turn back. The caves were full of budha statues. yet, one of them was a bit spooky. a bit like tomb. young kids selling little birds inside a tiny little cage selling USD 1 each, which i dun find it too comfortable to see. not sure if it worth a 2 hour ride.

Another 2 hrs ride we arrived the waterfall. the lonely planet says the water is turquoie color n ppl can swim there. Yet, it is now rainny season. The waterfall was too powerful and strong that we could hardly get any closer. We managed to climbed up pretty high along the mountain trying to find some swimming pond. no luck. the water was too muddy due to the rain and the climb was fucking bloody slipery. I sliped seriously couple times, which my luxury havianas were broke into 2parts and my bag was complete wet. Yak!!!

Haven't said that it was beautiful and the water, thou icy cold, was very refreshing. i believe it would be much better in the dry season. We had some good laugh thou. Seeing people falling over was hilarious.
