Today we visited 2 attractions in the
area. The blow hole was nice but not impressive. The ocean waves
are crashing all along the coast and the blow hole just didn't have
the volume.
Then we drove to the Rock temple. The temple consists
of several caves with reclining Buddha's in them The walls and
ceilings are decorated with paintings but the rooms look all the same
after the third cave. But the temple is ascended by multiple
staircases. In some cases the stairs are carved out of the rock
itself. We went up 654 steps and at the top we received a blessing
from the resident monk. Then he showed us the path to the lookout.
The view was incredible, It was made more impressive due to the lack
of signage or safety features and a strong wind. The closer you got
to the edge the more you saw. We enjoyed the view from a safe
distance.

Very cool! I love caves. I also love experiencing much less stringent safety standards in foreign countries! The waterslides in Greece were super fun with no one there making sure everyone stayed a safe distance apart!
