Geburtstag und Rad fahr Kompanion

Thursday 9.11. (50km)

In the morning at breakfast we meet another cyclist, Steven, from New Zealand.

We invite him for a coffee and then cycle together to luam nangtha.

There we check into a great hotel and spend the day together.

We drink a lot of beer, eat well and meet 2 Frenchmen, gaille and thibeau, in the evening at the night market...

Phew very nice but a lot of alcohol!

Friday 10.11.

Rest day and massage

Saturday 11.11.(66 km)

Steven decides to travel with us for the next few days/weeks...

As always, there is only 'Bolo' (called khao soy here - typical for Laos) - or other noodle soup...

So in the worst case, morning, noon, evening....

On the way, we stop for coffee and eat bananas at noon.

We ask Laotian teenagers if we can join them.

After a while, they offer us beer and later whisky...phew....

Laos consists only of green mountains...There are only 1-2 main roads. Along these, there are small villages, sometimes only made of wooden huts. You have to plan well where you stop in the evening so that you find somewhere to sleep.

Sometimes there is no or only 1 restaurant...

Sunday 12.11.(56 km/760 hm)

It's getting steeper....

Monday 13.11. (83 km /1468 hm)

Beautiful landscape

Steep mountains, 2 times uphill...but then 20 only downhill - mega!
