Pakse to Paksong is 54 kms, most of which is uphill. Not steep but consistent uphill for about 40 kms. Some 12 kms before reaching Paksong is a waterfall a few hundred meters off on a bumpy mudroad. I decided to pass on it for now and instead zip back down tomorrow morning without panniers and all. I met a Danish couple who told me that Paksong Guest House is really good if you can afford the 60 000 kip, less than 6 Euros. Fine, I found it and moved in, very nice place.
There is a little restaurant right across the road, their sign said 'grilled pork'. I like pigs, particularly the little piglets. But I don't eat any fourlegged animals since many years. I asked for chicken and they said that this here on the grill is chicken. I was not convinced but ordered a plate when the lady insisted that it is chicken. But I never really ate any of it. There was not a sign of chicken skin on it and no bones that I would recognize as chicken. I ate the rice and vegetables. Next morning they whipped up a fine omelet for me though.
Despite the uphill it was a nice cycling day.
