Whoa. Cold.

"We were cave-exploring in Veng-Vieng, Laos and came across this natural cold-water pool. We decided to take a dip and discovered the pool had an underwater entrance that led into a series of underground caves. It was a lovely way to spend hot, lazy afternoon in Laos. Best of all, we had it all to ourselves. This is what comes of having the courage to wander off the beaten track!". Taken by Carrie
