Day 59 Wed 25/08 - Phonsavan on a Rainy Rest Day

Today Weather : 20 - 26C Rain all day
Today Spending : 111000k   Total : 1794000k

A day in which you don't feel like doing anything except going to the Internet to update the past few days reports. At 12000k per hour ( Rm 4.80), is double the price as in Malaysia. It usually took me 2-3 hours to finish the job. So you guys at home able to enjoy the stories and pictures. Had decided to temporary take a rest from biking, to get away the boredom, instead I will take a bus to Xam Neua tomorrow. Approx. 9 hr journey costing 110000k. From Xam Nuea is another 100km to the border town of Nameo before crossing to Vietnam.

Meng, hope your you're alright. Lucky the fall wasnt serious.
Camping in the bamboo hut looks really comfy. It's what we'd call 5-star camping! Are those huts abandoned or road side stalls or are they private gazebos on ppl's land?
Thanks for all the pics n stories, it's wonderful to see that altho they're poor, they share what little they have so sincerely. Bless them. Take care.

Pauline,
Yes the bamboo hut really good. They belongs to someone but normally they don't sleep there. If someone approach you, just politely ask for permission. The wet weather here really bordering me. Now i am in Thanh Hoa ,just 150 km to Hanoi.
