Day 8: Vang Vien

While the rain eventually let up, the spectacular views did not. Again, I had to remind myself to enjoy the ride rather than stopping every few yards to take photos. My favorite picture from the rest of the bike trip is the kids on the bikes among the cows. Because, who couldn't love kids on bikes with cows!?!
As I made my way back to town, I got a little off track. It was one of those moments when I thought, I am half-way round the world, don't know quite where I'm at and don't speak the language.....AND I'm by myself. I could have always turned around and gone back the way I came but it's much more interesting to head into the unknown..... Of course, as you know, I made it back alive.
