Day 17

Here's another lost post from my SD card.

This morning we had to make the 0900 tour start so we for up a little earlier than usual.

We ate breakfast in a local Indian restaurant we saw last night. I had fred bread and curry.


The place was operated by a young Indian couple. He has been here seven years, she three months.


Back to the hotel I saw the last of the cleanup crew. First thing in the morning all the homeowners and business people sweep their sidewalks and street gutters.


We went to the caves, paid our rather expensive (US7.50) entry fee, and started an impressive tour.

From 1964 to 1973 the Pathet Lao occupied these caves as protection against bombing by the US and South Vietnamese. Here are a couple of tourists touring the caves.


More caves. They built rooms inside and installed roofs to protect from the dripping water.
