Nong Kheiw

3/30/2011
-Arrived in Nong Kheiw after 8 hours, on the boat landing was half of a US bomb.
-wandered around looking for a guesthouse, everything was really expensive, so wound up sharing a double room with Sebastion, the german kid i met on the boat, for 50,000 kp each it was actually super nice, some of the most comfortable beds i've had while travelling.
-ate some dinner and played cards til bedtime

-slept in because the bed was so comfortable.
-ate some breakfast and set off walking towards the caves.
-The caves on Nong Kheiw were where the provincial gov't was stationed during the war, it was very cool to see how they lived for years, a local boy took us through one cave in particular that served as the treasury and was all switchback turns and gutsucking hallways.
-heard that there was a waterfall nearby, so we started to walk that way, walked through a nice village, were invited in by a bunch of locals drinking lao lao, but it was to early to get hamdog, which is what happens when you drink lao lao with the locals.
-found a really good restaurant for dinner, ate some grub and played cards til bedtime.
