Sunday June 14


Can feel the beginnings of a cold coming on. Went up really early for a boat trip on the Mekong to some Buddha caves. One of the caves was amazing with hundreds and hundreds of Buddha statues in all shapes and sizes left there by worshipers. Went to a village after along the river where they produce whisky. The village was a tourist trap if there ever was one, just people trying to sell things to you. There was a temple there though which had amazing images of Buddhist hell. Very cartoon like with sexy naked women being tortured, wonder what the young monks are thinking walking in to the temple every morning.
Oh what a hot hot day, at least on the boat it was a bit nice and cool.
