Riding in Northern Laos

After spending the New Year in Thailand, I went back to Laos to ride between the capital, Vientiane and the old capital, Luang Prabang. The ride took about 10 days, and was through some of the most amazing and beautiful country I've ridden through. I also teamed up with Femke, a New Zealander, to ride most of the way, and we also rode for a day with a fellow who rode all the way from Spain!
