Day 5- Trekking and Waterfalls

So I'm pretty behind, really need to get up to date on my photos, promise I will soon! Currently sitting outside of our hostel in Laos eating Pocky for breakfast (we had their omelette yesterday but it was just so greasy!). Yesterday was amazing. We went on a 5 hour trek to go and see the Kuang Si waterfalls. Before starting we went up to see some of the remote villages in the mountains which were completely surreal.
We had to pay a man so we could walk through his forest, the man was smoking something in this huge cylinder and his eyes were very very red.... questionable. Apparently it was just tobacco though. Ok have to go, already but overview of what we did:
-hiked through rice paddies
-almost got attacked by a snake
-saw buffalo swimming in the water
-went to a cave that basically had no end
-walked along the very edge of the waterfall in the water!
-climbed down the waterfall (with me falling 4 times)
-swam in the waterfalls
-saw some bears
-got back to Luang Prabang and went to our favourite place Utopia for dinner, a margharita, and beer.
- made new friends from Denmark and England then went to bed!
