SPELUNKING IN LAOS

... Just returned from a weekend trek to Laos, where we spent 3 days in Vang Vieng (see link to the map). The mist enshrouded mountains rose like giants out of the flat prairie fields. It was just like in the movie, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. We spent hours spelunking through endless caves, swimming in crystal clear water lagoons, and flying like trapeez artists on aerial rope swings. We even found a rope swing designed for two people to leap together at the same time. You know we did! If you ever get a chance to visit Laos, GO.
