Woke up early to have breakfast by the Mekong River. There was heavy fog and we couldn't see Laos on the far back of the river. By sheer coincidence, we had breakfast at the same place that we had dinner last night. Boring noodle soup tasting like it came from Laos.
After breakfast we bought a few souvenir t shirts and proceeded to check out the guesthouse.
Rode towards Loei to our first stopover destination, Phu Ruea. The roads were freaking jammed packed with vehicles of all sorts. Luckily I did not witness any accidents. When we finally reached Phu Ruea, it's was so crowded and we have up the idea and proceeded towards Dan Sai instead. (About 40km ahead)
Had a quick lunch at Dan Sai followed by a temple visit before carrying on to Lom Sak which is about 70km away.
Immediately after Dan Sai, the roads started to wind up the mountains. Superb riding roads with beautiful scenery. I'll be back for this again!
Arrived at Lom Sak at about 1800hr and had a hard time looking for a place to stay. The town has very limited accommodation available. After a few rounds the town, we gave up and got a room at Sawang hotel for 450B. 40 year old hotel but the room is clean and comfortable.
We went to bed after a simple dinner as we were tired. Basically there was nothing much to do.
