My first 100 kilometer day. Woohoo! December 27
Does that count as a century ride? :)
So I did about 102km, and then took the bus to Khongsedone, another 60_ km. I would have simply stopped and found a place to stay in a village for the night, or set up my hammock, but I really wanted to get here so I can head towards Salavan tomorrow, as I’m worried about running out of time on my visa. The bus cost me 20,000 kip, which is too much, but we started at 30,000…
I took some pictures of some really cute kids coming back from the fields with their moms. They were carrying some sort of pole for digging, with a very small scooped end sacks filled with something. Still haven’t figured out what they were digging for.
There was a vicious headwind all day, which sucked.
I went to the market in Seno today for breakfast. I wished I knew how to say, “Do you have anything other than grilled chicken feet?” I’m normally pretty adventurous when it comes to food, but not that early in the morning. And they were chicken feet. On a stick. However, I do consider my ambivalence about what food I eat a serious asset when travelling. I never have to worry about finding food, or worry about ordering the wrong thing.
