Heaven 'n Hell
... Views were good etcetc. Took pictures and went to walk to the national park. Almost everything at the caves we did alone, we saw maybe two or three people the entire time.

Back to Base
... climbs to the temple daily does it in 23 minutes, so we were quite pleased to do it just 3 minutes more. By the time we descended it was late and we were tired so we headed back to the town to freshen up for dinner. In the reception of our hotel there were a couple of Thai guys having beer and they invited me over to join them.
