Screenshot 2016-12-08 14.43.19 by Bob Kelly, on FlickrOnly 145km covered today
After a very nice nice sandwich in the Manychan, today was to be an easier ride covering the 1830 and 1203 myself and Dennis rode back in 2009, we both recalled how rocky it was back then and hopped for some improvement.
20161120_085701 by Bob Kelly, on FlickrSoon onto the 1830 i spotted a stupa off in the distance.
PB200496 by Bob Kelly, on FlickrIt turned out to be at the village of Nasavang where i recall we spent some time drink beer in a house of ill repute, closer investigation it was a very unusual stupa.

PB200511 by Bob Kelly, on FlickrWe stopped at the village of Pangkhai for some refreshments, as expected all the local kid’s came out and i dished out sweets for them, this kid had more than the norm as far as lucky charms go.

PB200529 by Bob Kelly, on FlickrAs we packed our bags, a guy showed up from nowhere demanding 10k kip off each of us, we all became deaf and rode off.
As we came closer to Boun Tai, this what looked a school appeared for nowhere it was clear a lot of money had been spend but no sign’s to say what it was.
