The cycling continues | Bolivean Plateu near Attapeu |
My crazy bicycling adventure continued briefly in Laos. I arrived at the Bo Y - Attapeu border crossing from Vietnam and immediately realized there is a much more relaxed pace of life here. Considerably less developed than Vietnam, it is quite refreshing not to be hounded to buy, buy, buy by every person you meet (unlike Vietnam). However sometimes you really do want to buy something (ie. lunch) and there are just no shops or signs of civilization for miles and miles. |
| Waterfront property - Don Det style |
|  | 4000 islands - Si Phan Don No beaches to speak of , but a truly relaxing place to sit on the balcony and watch the sunrise or sunset. I stayed on Don Det for US$2 a night in a waterfront property. |
