Pools are an ethereal blue-green thanks to copper and other minerals in the water The lagoon winks at us beyond the rock We row across to this recently renovated pagoda Caves are lit by these halogen lights, strung along the ceiling with rubbery electric cables.

According to this article, the Trang An caves won't stay so serene for much longer: http://www.lookatvietnam.com/2009/05/mystical-caves-add-to-lure-of-eco-tourism-complex.html We enter the cave.
