Day 17 - Luang Prabang "Yum, they don't make those biscuits in my country!"

Went out after breakfast to book some tickets for the next day's activities, on returning to our room Kathryn caught the cleaning lady in the act of stealing some biscuits she had brought along from home. "They were in the bin" she said .... Kathryn knew they were from the bag she kept her supplies in.
We booked a tuk-tuk for a trip to the Pak Ou caves and the Kuang Si waterfall. The trip to the caves started off well, but when we turned off the bitumen road onto the worst dirt road we've ever been on, things started going downhill .... after 8 km of jarring, bumping, jerking, funny bangs and weird noises, the tuk-tuk stopped. The driver made a couple of attempts to restart it, but no luck .... we left him there while we walked to our destination (about 3km down the road). On arrival we spoke to the people there and sent them off to help our driver, while we conitnued onto the caves, their claim to fame being hundreds of Buddha statues of various shapes and sizes.
After the caves, Kathryn managed to beg a lift from a tourist boat heading back to Luang Prabang. On arrival back in town, we flagged another tuk-tuk to take us to Kuang Si, some of the most picturesque and prettiest waterfalls we've ever seen. It's a popular swimming spot, but we didn't go in as it was too late in the afternoon and too cold, we settled for a visit to the Sun Bears and a climb up and over the top of the waterfall.
