74 kms, of which 10 seems to have been by mistake.
When I rode into Nam Tha yesterday I was surprised to find Many Cham guest house on the right side of the road when I expected it to be on the left. But I discounted it as poor memory and thought nothing more of it. I had also been a bit surprised not to pass by the airstrip as I remembered it.
Anyway when I left Nam Tha this morning I left town the same way I had come in. After turning right at a crossroads and riding another few kilometers I came to another crossroads with a sign towards Nam Tha. I realized that I had entered town on a different road than two years ago, and now left it in an off direction. All in all that seems to have cost me an additional 10 kms.
It is a really lovely day anyway. The surrounding nature is beautiful in a Nepali way, hilly and very very nice.
The road itself is excellent and there are many small Lao villages with sweet people. I now have a nice little bungalow by a stream a few hundred metres off Viang Poukha on a dusty gravel road. I have had some fried Morning Glory and a cold Beer Lao in the village. My knees and legs feel tired and I think it will be an early evening.
