one of our guides - they did the whole thing in bare feet
phase 1 - hiking to the second village - what a motley crew we are
surrounding bush
bamboo bridge over the river
baby goats in the middle of the path
view from the path
bamboo grove
you can almost see the trail
fording the first river on the way to the cave
parts of the crossing were a bit tricky
descending a bamboo ladder - no problem for the guide, but kinda slippery for us
face painting to protect us from the spirits in the cave ( photos courtesy of this couple )
approaching the cave
very beginning of the cave - it got dark from here
goodbye sunlight
hooray, the exit
hiking to the river portion of the tour with our floaty rings
waiting for Tim to catch up
steep climb out of the river
