Rise and shine

Hello guys, John here bringing you the best day in Luang Prabang... Personally! One this very fine day, my lovely mother has organized a tour for the family where we visit the highlights of Luang Prabang in a van filled with Germans, Koreans and sweet sweet Canadiens... eh? We first get deserted alone (Just us Canadiens) at a town called whisky village. We got a tour of whisky town by a nice future monk that of course, involved Lao whisky. Obviously my parents had a blast with the alcohol, but it was kindove lame to me. Our next stop was a Elephant riding camp that we did not ride :(, but we fed them bamboo and loved them with warm hugs :). Dad obviously did not touch them one bit because... Well you know him... He's dad what can you expect. It was weird though that he had no interaction what so ever with them since he's Elmer the safety elephant. Our next stop was the Pakoh Cave of Luang Prabang. I had a great time on the long tail boat ride to the actual caves, from there it was 230 steps to  the top and let me say this... they were steep as heck! We finally reach the top and my slow poke parents/ sister were taking the biggest breather I have ever seen them breathed. We go into the cave with a flashlight provided at the entrance and there were Buddha statues everywhere, a bunch of Buddhist relics that were quite the sight to see. Once me and Elizabeth were done looking, we decided to play in the dark, as we turn of our flashlights blend in with the dark, waiting for our parents to come find us... we definetly gave them quite the spook. On our way back to the van I started to think about how I could have placed the best geocache known to man and how no one though to put one there in the first place. We arrive at the van and take a long drive to reach our final destination! The Kuang Si waterfalls which is a sight to see indeed! It's basically the public pool of Laos, with dangerously awesome waterfalls and piranha like fish in the water, could not get better than that. At the time I loved to climb up into the waterfalls and chill up there while watching the poor people in the water getting nibbled one by one my these decent sized fish which was not pleasant at all when my time came. All in all the tour had been great and thank you mom for booking this wonderful activity for us. Until next time, this has been John and is officially signing out. I'd still keep an eye out for them pictures... You'll never know what's coming!
