Hike, Swim, and Tiger Feast
I brought in the New Year very chilled and relaxing in bed! I was up early the next morning to experience what would be on the top five days of my life.
Waterfall Visit
We woke up early and hired a taxi truck to take Jacquie and I to the Kuang Si waterfalls. The ride on the 30km dusty dirt road was an adventure on its own, but offered a great chance to see the country and farm life. Since it was New Years day, we were one of few people who were there at ten in the morning. We had the whole place to ourselves and it was spectacular. The water was so clear and clean so of course we went for a swim next to the falls. It was a great treat! We also hiked up the side of the falls and ended up right over top. We would have been about 100ft looking down from this magical Lord of the Rings kind of scenery.
The Eye of the Siberian Tiger
On the way down, we had lunch next to this Tiger sanctuary. We had donated a bit of money to help feed this Tiger who was saved from a poacher 5 years ago. Her two brothers died but Phet was a survivor. The lady who keeps the Tiger, welcomed us into the cage area and let us watch her feed the grown Tiger - she eats 4kg of Buffalo per day. Then, she let us pet...uh, Phet. She is a beautiful cat and I loved the experience of watching this cutie!
We leave Luang Prabang tomorrow and I will miss it. I love the people here and I love the scenery. It is so nice to meet honest locals who still take care of the tourists.
