So, who knew that Vietnam has (unofficially) officially blocked access to facebook? Hope the hotel doesn’t mind the little download
I’ve had to install to get this stuff working again…
The decision to park Tom’s bike in Luang Prabang made the next stages much easier. Our friend Somxai was surprised to see us again
(he’s the guy organised our boat for us), and agreed to mind the bike until we collect it. So there it sits, on his verandah… Made
it to Muang Khau for the night, after a hair-raising trip across a suspension bridge high over a river to reach our guesthouse.
It was a great night – dinner with the owner’s family, including the obligatory shots of lao-lao! Just the preparation we needed for a
run at the border the next day…






Hi Mat,
It looks like we just missed you in northern Laos! Just arrived in Luang Namtha, after travelling north from Luang Prabang to Meung Ngoi, up the Nam Ou river and downstream from Muang Khoa, where you were….
Damn, I knew I should’ve checked your website when we were in LP!!
Anyway, hope you’re well. And keep travelling safely…
Best, Peter.
