Today's ride is just to make up the distance.The weather so hot....the road so flat...so straight...so boring with practically nothing to see except the passing vehicles and the small little roadside stalls selling almost the same things.Initially wanted to ride the small road along the Mekong River,but the road is not tarred as I had experienced from yesterday's ride.That's the reason why I took on the main road 13. Probably I drank water the most for today and also I wallop one whole watermelon in one of the stall.Paksan is the only town which I arrived by 4pm,exhausted and tired and I really need a good shower and a comfortable bed,I decided on Manolum guesthouse on my 1st try for 50k kips,no aircon but wall fan is good enough for me,my priority is wifi.
