Daily Disasters

  1. 🤔 I think none

Some days are filler days and today was one of those.  That’s not to say there were no highlights of course there were.  But the route was flat, a couple of little bumps but I hardly noticed them.

Yesterday I did a little adjustment to my saddle and I think it is better.

The day was overcast and after breakfast at the guesthouse. I started down the road. Popped into a 7 Eleven bought a sim, i am now fully dataed up for the next 2 weeks, when I came out of the shop I turned back the way I had come and it was only seeing my guesthouse again that I realised I was travelling the wrong direction. Doh!

Less than 5 kms I arrived at the Golden Triangle this is the meeting point of Laos 🇱🇦/ Thailand 🇹🇭/ and Burma 🇲🇲.  And famous for its Opium poppy growing. There is also an opium museum which was interesting.

Some of these are not actually of the Golden Triangle Wats but of other Wats along the route. I really has been a spectacular day for wats.

After the Golden Triangle I sped on. I hadca great soup lunch

And arrived at my homestay at about 2. It would have been earlier but I stopped a few times to watch the world go by.
