Early start at 7 today trying my best to do a 100km to Oudomxai,the plan looks achievable with no big climbs.At 10.30am i already clocked 45km for early lunch in Paknamnoi and 63km in Muang La for drink stop. The weather was cloudy and the rolling terrain that follows a river, with altitude gradually up from 300m to 600m over.However at 3pm and another 13 km from my targeted desination,I was attracted by a roadside hut with a bamboo raise floor,and a small running stream from the paddie field, I was in 2 minds whether to continue or to stay. Thinking that not worth to check in a guesthouse in Oudomxai late,might as well camp tonight, ride to town early tomorrow morning and check in a guesthouse with Wifi to update my blog.

The plan of not setting up my tent spoiled by the mozzies and sandflies

Best place to lay down after 87km

Couldn't resist to spend a night in this bamboo hut
