Goodbye Laos, Hello Cambodia

The one lane bridge into Pakse describes this quiet town to a tea. No one is in neither a rush to get in or out of this place. It is the gateway to the Bolaven Plateau known famously for its rich Lao coffee. And to all those coffee connoisseurs out there (i know there is quite a few reading this), this is the BEST coffee I've ever had. Jet Black and smooth. Like a fine aged liquor. Mouth watering delicious.

My next post will be from Cambodia in a week or so time. My plan tentatively is to bike to the southern most island in Laos and float across the border via the Meckong. Could you not ask for a better ending and great beginning to a new country?

And then I will work my way down to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Whether by boat or bike who knows. Regardless of the mode of transport, I am sure I will have fun tales to tell.

It's official, I have surpassed the 1000 mile revolution on my bike. And looking forward to more !!!
