Waterfalls and kayaking, Laos








Luang Prabang Laos continued..
Good things
Found the waterfall area with loads of tropical pools to swim in amongst the forest. Clear blue pools, cascading falls and an enclosure for moon bears to play together. Not a lot of publicity for this place but it was one of the most outstanding places that we've visited.Canoed through rapids in an inflatable canoe, pausing for the odd swim in the water.
Bad things
Somehow my positioning at the end of the boat encouraged copious quantities of river water to slush into my shorts so the boat didn't serve it's purpose very well. Fits in the boot of a car easily though and only took a couple of minutes to pump up
