The principal French voyagers touched base in Luang Prabang by pontoon, wanting to open up another course for exchange with China. Present-day voyagers can shadow their enterprises by taking day or overnight outings from the town. A well known daytrip is a trip by secured wooden longboat along the Mekong River to Pak Ou Grottoes, 25 kilometers upstream from the town. The grottoes, sacrosanct hollows tucked into limestone bluffs and loaded with many plated and wooden Buddha statues, were once possessed by recluses, some of whom wound up spending their whole grown-up lives in confinement, considering the importance of life, the universe and everything. Why anybody spends a whole lifetime in seclusion is a riddle: possibly these loners spent such a long time touching base at the answer that they overlooked the inquiry, so needed to begin once again. Tham Ting hollow, got to straightforwardly from the riverbank by a stone stairway, is stuffed with several old Buddha pictures, all peering out over the waterway, their effect amplified by the tranquil remoteness of their setting.
