The trail was very slippery and very steep with lots of broken wooden ladders and I soon found myself being followed by a couple of local kids who then rushed ahead of me - we did manage to get onto a ledge below the falls but not the one with the cave. When we got across and followed the trail back up, the kids tried to get money out of me but I stood my ground since I'd headed off on my own and didn't ask for a guide.
We drove onto Sekong town which wasn't much and ate at the trusty LP recommended restaurant which had very unfriendly staff and really poor food but we didn't have much choice in a place like that anyway!
We carried on and found a waterfall off to the left which wasn;t on the map we'd been given by the guesthouse where we'd rented the bike so we took a look and found some bungalows for 30000kip perched overlooking the falls - amazing! (I think they were called Thavavin Huts). We spent ages tonight sitting under the small falls getting our own personal power massges from the water which was great! There was an onsite restaurant which had pretty decent food and we met a guy called Brent who was a bit odd and I think had been in some kind of motorbike accident as he was covered in grazes.
