Faced with a second day of doing very little in Vang Vieng, I decided to go for a walk about town. Doug had indicated that there were some caves he had seen not too far away and I thought I'd go check them out. When I mentioned to Doug I was going for a walk, he decided to come too.
We decided to walk across the bridge to the other side of the river to see what was around there. We saw a sign that indicated you could walk up one of the hills and get an excellent view of the town - so we followed the flags through the rice fields to the hill.
There was a cave on the hill, and the way up was a bit rocky - but there had been a wooden ladder that made it much easier. We got to the cave and were taken on a tour through it. It was actually pretty interesting and much larger than we every expected.
After our cave tour we took the route up to the top of the hill. It turned out that it was all rocky and required quite a bit of maneuvering to make it up to the top. Normally this would have been not a problem - but I was wearing a skirt and flip flops which made it especially challenging.
We made it to the top which had some spectacular views. If you find yourself in Vang Vieng I would highly recommend going up - just wear shorts and some better shoes.
The way down was a bit scary and steep - but I managed with only a few scraps and bruises.
