Had thunder and lightening storm in the middle of the night. So close it shook the hut! Yikes! But back to sleep and up early for breakfast and then into town for a boat ride up the Mekong River where it would take us to the Buddha caves. We got into our very small, long boat with 4 others and away we went. What a gorgeous view! We saw fisherman, families taking baths, and water buffalo. Stopped for oil part way up the river and then on to a 20 minute stop further up the river where there were beautiful silks, temples and a high incline to climb. Talk about walking the plank -- that's exactly what we did!!
Back to the boat and on our way to the caves. Admired some more views and the got to our destination. As we climb more steep stairs, again, we saw hundreds of old buddhas and incense. Then it was more steep stairs to more buddhas. After 30 minutes we headed back to town with great breeze blowing.
Off the boat (and more steep stairs to climb)-- time to exchange Bat to Kip and find some lunch -- which was good -- and then we hiked back to the hotel. This time we walked in the middle of the bridge!
And no, Judy, you can't keep the puppy!
