What if... I made a blog post today with little text and mostly pictures? Yeah, why not. 1 paragraph and then pics. We rode from Ban Naham, at the Nam Khan river, just past the Nam Ou, towards Pakmong. Many tourbikers do LP to Pakmong in 1 day, we decided to take it a bit easier and split it up. We went 10km past Pakmong today in the direction of Nong Khiaw, to a place called Ban Nam Bak, a small town at the Nam Bak river. 52 easy km, ready to tackle the tougher Pakmong - Oudomxay route tomorrow.

| Ban Naham this morning at 7.30am: misty mountains! We had read from quite a few other blogs about the mist in the Lao mountains, well here it is! |
 |
| The mornings are still pretty cold, and today the mist was added to the mix. Cold, wet and nice! |
 |
| The mist clearing, the temperature rising, time to get rid of a layer. Meanwhile, a "motorised buffalo" (kind of light tractor) overtakes us, and a (Chinese) truck comes from the other side. All this is still on the road 13, the "highway" to the north! |
 |
| What goes up, must come down: counts for the mist too! Once the mist gone, this was the scenery again (this is the Nam Khan still) |
 |
| Even some fresh green rice paddies today! Even if we've seen this a million times, I think we'll still enjoy it. |
