The exhilerating 52km descent fron Pakson on the Bolaven Plateau to Pakse, by the Mekong, was broken only by a walk down to one of many waterfalls and a stop for coffee.
We had more or less decided to avoid Vietnam and felt vindicated when Mitje and Mitze told us that the roadbuilding all over the country was making travel very diappointing. Instead we had agreed to head to the north of Laos. We booked spaces on the overnight sleeper to Ventiane, arriving there this morning at 6.30.
First stop was a bike shop and then we headed north. We,ve cycled about 120kms today, to a delightful town by the river.there aremeetings being held by various NGOs so finding beds proved very difficult.
