After cruising in some light drizzle we were taken ashore to goto the caves. These caves, despite being 10,000 years old, were only discovered in the 1990s. A local saw a monkey and tried to chase him to catch him. The monkey hid in the caves and the man followed him in. The fate of the monkey is unknown but the caves have become a new natural wonder. There are various rock formations illuminated by coloured lights. In various places they pointed out various animals such as a dragon or a horse but I failed to see the resemblance. There was however a shadow formation of a man. They said he was looking for his love, then they showed the shadow of a lady. Next was a formation that looked like a family so they said they got married and had children. There is the large chamber which has a tiny opening open to sunlight. They call it heaven chamber as when the sun shines directly it lights up the whole chamber and makes a person standing in the right spot have an angel silhoette. We then went back to the boat and gently sailed round to a floating village. By this time the drizzle had cleared. There were locals rowing boats laden with fruits. I'm glad I got to see a floating market as I missed out in the Mekong Delta Tour. As we moored in the floating market area we had the choice to buy local fruits, wait, or take a small paddle boat with a villager for 100,000 ($5). I had already paid $5 to go kayaking. As only one other person had paid to go kayaking and the weather was colder, I wasnt sure if I was going to go thru with it or not. Fortunately it was a bit warmer now as promised and the rain had cleared. Many others were kayaking. Also the dutch couple were going to kayak together. I didnt know if I would get my own boat or they would pair me with someone else. Fortunately they put me by myself so I had control over where and how to paddle. Rowing was quite easy as I've done it before and was on a dragon boat rowing team. However, my pants were starting to get wet as the water rolled down the oars and I didnt want my passport to get soggy and sticky in my cargo pant knee pockets. I had 45 mins to paddle which would have been nicer if the sky was clear and we had more time. After paddling out then turning around I didnt know which floating houseboat was the starting point to paddle back to. Eventually I found my way back to the right one. After that it was time for a 3.5 hour bus ride back with obligatory factory outlet stop again. Todays trip cost $25 with $5 for kayaking, which is cheaper than $39 I had been told before. Today had two groups of girls from Denmark, Spain, and other travellers from the Netherlands, China, Japan, Uk, Canada, and two Indians.
