Following our relaxing kayak day, we rented cheesy one speed bikes again and set out in search of caves that litter the surroundings. Little did we know that if we stopped to take a photo, kids would run up and jump on our bikes. Here Michelle struggles along the bumpy road with these two cuties - it was hard work! Through farmers fields, rivers and over fences and we found the cave we were looking for. Beneath the cave was an underground river of crystal clear water. I donned my headlamp and swam into the pitch black cave with a Canadian couple for support. You could swim about 100m into the darkness, and when we turned out the lights it was really strange. To make things worse, the Canadian guy felt something swim between his legs, so that's all I needed to take off like a shot out of the cave. Really strange feeling but a cool experience. We rode back into town, watching the kids play in the ditches beside the road. For some reason, they decided to do construction in the town, but they are working on every single street - it looks like a war zone!!
Across some rickety bridge, found us on the island and a relaxing sit on bamboo platforms overlooking the river, and watching the sunset behind the hills again. Oh yeah......and BeerLao too!! *Stub
