Not a person of easily give up, but today I had to raise the white flag,just 5km short to Phou Khoun.The mountains here is just too much to handle.One after another, testing your power and patience to the limits, physically and mentally exhausted. Some may argue"Only 5 km, why stop?" 100% agreed and thought the same, but when you are already 6 hours on the road,labouring at a speed of 9.8 kmh. There was a moment i thought I can make it with a downhill but when it started climbing again with the last 5km. That was the time I finally had enough of it. This Bamboo Hut camp have 2 water sources from the mountains where the villagers bathe. I just needed a good wash and water for cooking.Could this be the reason for stopping? Who caress....
