Laos Phonsavsan To Lak Sao



Well the weather turned crap and it rained for two days straight not the best was to celebrate new year but thats the way it goes.


341 km but before a quick ride around town to picture some of the war memorials







Monks doing the morning alms collection


It was a very cold start until the sun finally broke through the clouds




The gravel road was not the best surface







The sun finally breaking through was very welcome




The resettlement village i had seen a few years earlier looks like it never got occupied and is slowly being stripped



Pity it had spectacular views from there




Some parts still a little greasy on the downhill sectios


The are has been pretty much deforested, but still piles of timber laid by the roadside





Nasty section through the banana plantations torn up by the trucks




The old logging camp i had passed some time before still has a few people trying to make a living








Old lady spinning she quickly removed her hat when i asked if i could take a shot





Lovely terraced fields




Some fantastic views above the clouds


More timber laid to rot












This truck had got bogged down so we had to look for an alternative route


Small shack built on a large rock







                               
Finally reaching the paved road was a blessing








Some great food on a stick in Lak Sao




A quick blast to Lak Sao for the night and a good nights sleep
