While out in search of breakfast and coffee, we rented a scooter and returned to the hotel to collect our packs and head over to see Noë, check-in and get settled into our cabin.
We dropped our bags and headed north out of town to Pha Thao Cave. On the way back, stopping at Vang Vieng Organic Farm for a tour, we met Wong over lunch and talked with him about the project. We loved what he was trying to achieve and gave him the other half of our West Coast seeds we had brought from home - which he enthusiastically received.

The afternoon took us west of town and we visited the Blue Lagoon 1, a swimming hole that was much too 'theme park' for both of us, so we hiked up the short distance to Pou Kham Cave, then headed back towards town and Silver Mountain.
The hike up Silver Mtn. was a bit of a challenge, thankfully the trail had been recently cleared and improved, which made the 10,000 kip fee very worthwhile. The view from the summit at House #1 is spectacular and we stayed at the top watching the hot air balloons float over Vang Vieng and decided to start our descent before the sun set completely. It was, by far, a highlight of this area.

Showered and changed, we wandered into town and stopped at Rasta Bar which had an interesting 'bar menu' and great reggae music, but decided to eat at the Bamboo Tree Restaurant; Pad Thai and Sweet & Sour fish - followed by a banana/coconut pancake from our favourite street vendor for dessert - these are just too delicious!!
