We spent a day away from Luang Prabang, exploring the area around it. This started with a visit to a local Lao village.
Once we'd spied out the locals, we did a short trek.
It had been raining all morning, so the path was very slippy. Tim and I were the only two, out of a group of eight, to slip into the river ( = soggy feet). I was relieved to discover that the big wiggly thing I saw out of the corner of my eye was a millipede rather than a snake. We then squelched our way to some kayaks where we headed down the river to Tad Sae waterfalls.

The waterfalls caught us by surprise and were a lot more beautiful than we'd imagined. The water was a clear blue and there were butterflies dotting around the place. I did a spot of swimming in the freezing water, whilst NOT watching Tim scale the waterfall (until he was in position for his jump...) After splashing around, we spent nearly 3 hours kayaking down the river and even braved the rapids at the end.
