Kuang Si Waterfalls & Pools

Laos is really very beautiful, we have breakfast on a platform in the middle of the hotel’s lily pond, one that Monet would have loved, then we travel through the country side on the “main” road for about 25km of thick luscious forest that covers rolling hills, some we should maybe call mountains, and in the valley’s there is beautifully green rice terraces.
Our destination is a waterfall, or rather a series of waterfalls and pools. Its not as powerful as Niagra, it doesn’t have the dimensions and wildlife of Iguazu, but it is really rather special because of the lovely turquoise blue colour of the water, in which one can swim at various places.
Our driver, who brought us here in a cross between a touk touk and a small van, suggests that we meet him again at 1pm, in other words, in two hours. We push back because we have heard this is a special place, and sure enough, we actually meet him again after 4 pm. Our self-organised tour cost $30, as opposed to the Tripavisor & Co., who wanted a mere $150. It wasn’t even difficult to arrange, just a quick word with the hotel front desk. I'm not sure what extras you get for $50 a head
I missed the best part apparently because I didn’t go all the way to the top, which, according to Oscar, was the best time of his life! Maybe if it's that good we will come back in two days’ time.
Certainly, the lower part is really great, and it’s just warm enough for swimming
At five, we head back because Lennox has a video call with his maths tutor, and the girls go to eat early since tomorrow. There is an early start at 07:30.Okumaya devam et
