It was still ruff off road after Kengtapa village for awhile but finally got out of it and the road connected smooth dirt road.

ケンタパン村を出てからもしばらく山路は続いたが、何とかまともな未舗装路に出る事が出来た。






This road went along beautiful canyon, and there were many nice clean streams camping out from mountains.

ラオスの山々の谷間を爽快な未舗装路が続いていて、道端には綺麗な湧き水なんかもあった。









However, good mood was ended up in Ban Nabong. There was a pretty big river without any bridge and boat crossing.

しかし！バンナボン村を越えたところで、橋もなければ渡し舟もない大きな川にはばまれる。







I thought "How I should do...." then decided to cross by myself because I saw people crossing.

しばらく考え込んだが、行くしかないっしょ。村人は腰まで水につかって川を渡ってるし。







It took me 3 times going and back to move all of my bags and everything in other side of the river. Bags were so heavy, and I got wet until my waist so was very exhausted.

3回に分け、荷物と自転車を担ぎながら川を渡った。けっこう川幅もあったし、荷物が重かったから、全てを終えた後は正に燃えかすのごとく川岸にへたりこんだ。







I was supposed to go right before Vietnam border. Since I took me awhile to cross the river, I ended up in a small village, Ban Senpang and stayed at somebody in this village.

予定では、今日ベトナム国境手前まで進む予定だったが、川を渡ったりなんかした関係で日がくれてしまい、国境よりだいぶ手前のセンパン村で民泊。






People in this village also live in ancient way, but there were TV, Power and Phone. It's no doubt I really enjoyed cold pepsi.

ここも大分ワイルドな生活をしている村だが、電気やテレビ、携帯もみんな使っていた。久々に飲んだ冷えたペプシは旨かったっす。
