67 kms.
Right out of Hine Hoeup the hills started. Not really big but nevertheless enough to slow me down. When I have been in the saddle for a couple of hours I really don't mind getting off and walking for a bit in the uphills. My legs do feel tired on arrival after a full day, but rarely bother me while I am still cycling. It is my bum that hurts and needs a break every now and then.
I pulled in at Vang Vieng at around 0130. There has been another massive build up of hotels and guest houses over the two years since I was here last and it took me a while to find the guest house where I had stayed. Eventually found it though and at 100 000 kip it was actually cheaper than I had expected. Pretty much the same river view that I had had earlier, but with more bungalows on the island in the rivers midst.
It seems the police or some such has banned the very loud music on Erawan Island, which was very welcome to me. Tomorrow I will have a rest day and go tubing!
