  1. What! None again 😲
  2. Oh yeh I nearly killed an old lady.

I woke at about 12.30, then again at 2 then just before my alarm at 6.45. Packed and out the door and riding by 8am. 

I saw Emma and Thibault who I had met at the border.  I was keen to get going so didn’t stop for breakfast with them. Which in retrospect was a mistake. Emma will be happy to know I have found a bakery in Muang Xai. So there are some bakeries a out. 😃

Todays ride was along the Nam Phak River Valley it is extraordinarily beautiful. Georgeous lush mountains green green and more green. But some days seem to wizz past and others drag. Yesterday despite the two 1000meter climbs seem to speed past with joy. But today, flatter but absolutely beautiful following the river seems to be dragging and at half way I sort of feel I should be at the end.

I set the video a lot higher on my chest. It’s better but still not great. Slowly it’s getting better, if I could just edit a bit it’ll be great.

It’s too long but good to see my view on today.
It’s too long but good to see what it’s like riding through a village.

Yes this is the video of me nearly killing an old lady. It was my fault. But she didn’t die so all’s well.
