Clear Waterfalls!

This past weekend I headed up to Kanchanaburi, north west of Bangkok. Here there are a few national parks we ventured into one Erawan National park which is popular for its 7 tier waterfall (Erawan Falls). Although I bit tired from Friday night activities we ventured into the park and immediatly were excited because from level one we could already tell this was going to be beautiful. The water was so blue and these large fish were swimming around. The entire hike to the seventh tier was about 2 km. Each tier is unique and have pools and a part of the fall. We stopped for a nice swim at level 3 where there was a nice pool and a fall we could climb into. To my surprise the fish did not leave me alone but liked to nibble out my feet! This freaked me out a little but I got used to it...well kind of. Anyways the top fall (number 7) is said to resemble Erawan the three headed elephant of hindu mythology. This is where the name comes from.
On Sunday we went to some caves that formed part of a temple. Here we saw many buddha images in caves. We were taken into the cave by our "tour guides" 10 year boys who are cab driver told to take us into the cave. They lead us through saying "mind you head" countless number of times. Then I headed back to school were the count down till new years begins!
