Today
we got on our bikes and cycled 100km down a long, busy, straight, flat
(although Amy will disagree with this, but as far as I'm concerned a
'hill' is a gain of at least 500ft) road. On the way we met a french
couple who were also on a big cycle trip.
I ran over a poo on the verge
(human or animal, who's to know), we had lunch in a field and drank lots
of ice slushy drinks from roadside vendors. A landscape of scrubby
fields with hazy mountains in the distance prevailed all the way to
Thakek.
In
1970, during the secret war, the Americans flew hundreds of air raids,
dropping thousands of planting troughs on the Laos countryside.
Where were the French couple cycling from and to?
