122 kms.
It is a terrific day cycling between Pakmong and Luang Prabang, whichever way. While Luang Prabang is at about 320 m above sea level Pakmong is only at abt 360 and there are no major hills, but a few minor ups and downs nevertheless. One rides along the Nam Ou river for most of the way and the views are lovely. There are also quite a few nice villages with loads of kids waving and smilingly calling out 'Sabaidee!' Everywhere seems to be doing better finacially than I remembered from last time. There are many more houses built right near the road and practically all kids I see have their own bicycles.
It is a long day though and I did not arrive Pakmong until 1645. I was pleased to move in to the Alone guest house right at the centre of town.
