On the way to the caves, we nearly got run down by a massive house boat. He kept turning and our guide kept saying we could out run it. Eventually I decided our guide was either stupid or insane and turned around to give the boat room. Look at the size of the thing...
This girl tried to sell us a baby mole in a little bamboo cage. Apparently they are great between two slices of bread. Thinking of the cute Mr Mole in the Wind In The Willows, we declined to chow down.
Afterwards we kayaked to the Lao whiskey village, so called because this is where they make the potent stuff. The village was a bit of a tourist rat run, but they really did make the whiskey here. It was a bit too much like cleaning fluid for us, especially at 55%, so we bought some as a thank you for our guide.
