The Marble Mountains

Today we went to the Marble Mountains which has several caves and Buddhist temples and natural tunnels and entrances, making it a fun place to explore.

First we had to climb over 100 steep steps.

 
But it was worth the work because there was an enormous Buddha statue to greet us at the top.

We continued along the path and found some caves to explore - sorry the pics of the kids didn't turn out well, but the scripts and temples and statues inside were amazing.

 
Back outside checking out the temples and pagodas.

We climbed a lot a lot a lot of steps. Don and Koa walked a little faster than me as Tasi started playing a game posing for pictures on every step :)

We went inside a cave and Don and Makoa went ahead through a tunnel. About 10 minutes later I hear a yell from above and the boys got out, but could not get back, hope to see you on the other side . . . luckily a man came down and helped carry Tasi down the steep way down.

But they had fun exploring and had fun telling me about it!

We found another tunnel to explore.

Then Don took the kids to the final last look out.
 
One more pagoda and happy Buddha before we leave.

And a whole bunch of steps down. Man I am happy that Don carries Tasi on his back!
