Pak Ou caves

We almost forgot about the stop at the caves so we were pleasantly surprised but then the realization that there were yet more stairs brought us back down to earth 🌏! Darn stairs! So we opted to go stairs to the top first and work our way back down. So finally at the top and two of the cutest little girls are trying to sell us their two bracelets they have. We were enjoying cold cokes we purchased at the top and the little ones were watching those cokes with much interest. Teresa handed the one girl her remaining drink and the smaller of the two set her eyes on me. Well, it was the best half a coke I have ever had... lol.
The caves were amazing, with hundreds of Buddha statues in two separate caves in different levels. Many with their heads removed, clearly religious animosity still remains throughout the world. A beautiful site none the less. Back on the boat to head to Luang Prabang !Read more
