Got back into Laos and received 15 days again. Since I need to get into China by march 7th, it's about what I scheduled.

ラオスに再入国。再び15日だから3月4日まで。中国ビザの事もあるからちょうど良いくらい。









It was very tuff climbing to the pass as I expected.
やっぱり国境の峠越えはキツかった。






But, still liked cycling mountain.
でも、やっぱり山はいいね。






Until Lao border, its been foggy, so the road was very wet and muddy. I heard that the weather of this area was like that in this time of year.
ラオス手前までずっと霧。道はビチャビチャドロドロ。この時期ベトナム北部を中心にこんな天気が多いらしい。








It's not much heavy upping down until Muon Xen, but from there to after few kilometer of the border, the road became steep. I took 6 hours for 30km from Muon Xen.

Muon Xenまではアップダウンもそれほど気になる程はなかったが、ここから国境、その先ラオス側のNong Hatまで30キロ 胸付八丁の上り坂。この30キロに6時間かかった。。




In Non Cam where the gate located, got a stump for departure. Cycled 200m from Vietnam gate, got a stump for arrival at Laos gate. This gate was in good shape both side of countries.

Non Camのベトナムボーダーで出国スタンプをもらい、200mくらい進んだラオスボーダーで入国スタンプ。このボーダーは両国とも綺麗な建物だった。













In high elevation area, it was all fogged out, so I couldn't enjoy the view. But on the way up, the mountain view was pretty nice.

峠付近は完全に雲の中で景色なんか何も見えなかったが、その手前まではなかなかの景色だった。













For my opinion for cycling in Vietnam, people were very friendly but i felt sometime too much. I got invited having tee several times.

ベトナムを走って思ったが、ベトナム人はすごくフレンドリー。フレンドリーすぎでたまにウザイが、茶に招待されるのもしばしば。





Accommodation were very cheep, and food was perfect. I didn't feel people to try to trick me when I pay for something. I stayed there only 8 days, but overall, it was good cycling. I might have felt differently if I cycled in big towns.

宿は安いし、飯は美味い。そんなにボッてくる感じはないし、8日間だけだが印象は良かった。多分都心部に行けばまた違う印象だったんだろう。



For me, I still like Laos better so cycle again now.

でもやっぱり自分的にはラオスが好きだな。だからまたラオスに入ります。


Bye bye pho. Welcome to Beer Lao
