Vieng Phoukha was my intented stay yesterday,but because of the rain and exhaustion, I was forced to put up with the Lao homestay. That,s probably the reason for a short ride of 28 km today, another reason is to have a good rest and a chance to wash the dirty bike and clothings, to dry under the sun to get rid of the smell. Sorts of re-organising myself after 2 days of hard rainy ride. Vieng Phoukha, surprisingly is not what I expected to be a moderate town, It is just another bigger village than the rest on the main route 3, but there are a few guest houses, a small market and many groceries stalls, missing are the many eatery stalls like in Thailand. I did a little marketing and cooked my own dinner in the Phuet Mung Khun Guest house. I like this wooden chalet style guest house , with a big grass land outside where I dried my clothing. Very cheap 30000k,but electricity supply only from 7 pm - 10 pm.
