Paradise



We ventured out this morning on a motorbike which is anyways the start to a good day. There is a freedom about it you Can't get on a tour or even in a car. We drove through some gorgeous country side. We pulled off and explores river areas and streams. We climbed around a bit. We went to paradise cave which was the destination. The journey was so much better. Not to take away from the cave. It was impressive. It had huge caverns and impressive cave formations.  We ended up taking a big loop on the motorbike. Part of it on the Ho Chi Mihn trail. We went up some mountainous peaks. Some that we wondered of our bike was going to be able to make it over. 





Cave formation




We had some locals tell is to follow them down to this lagoon area. 

We then met up with some friends and went to phong Nha cave. A cave that is only accessible by boat. You motor up a little ways up the river until you get to the cave. Then the engines are shut off and they row you through the river into the cave. The cane was used as a hospital and ammunition storage during the war. The valley really is beautiful. The national park here is one of three world heritage sites in Vietnam.
