222 km covered
Revisit of this trail and had hoped the Sekong bridge would be finished but progress is slow.
So we waited for the ferry.
Smiling bong lady and new toy.
Progress on the new road was very slow, maybe when the bridge is complete they will push on.
Still some bailey bridges remaining.
Village head man or spirit house.
The old French runway.
Some many huge holes dug in this area, not sure if they had been looking for UXO's.
Varied scenery along this route but most trails are nicely graded out.
Bringing firewood back home.
As you get closer to Attapeu, the trail becomes full of loose cobbles, making it very hard going.
UXO crews carefully picking their way through some deforested land.
The T54 which was uncovered during road construction works is easily missed and already overgrown.
For some reason it had been filled with rocks inside, i assume this is to stop scrap hunters.
Munition racks.
Onward to the Sam missle looking freshly painted.
Cluster casing fence.
Tuk tuk has seen better days, maybe a good restoration project.
We rode on to Saysettha to view the old French hospital ruins and nearby Wat.
Must have been an impressive place in it's day.
Wat Ban Phoxai is just next door and worth a look around.
Checked into the Xaysavanh GH for the night after a nice days riding.
