Masako agreed to do a private 4 day cycling tour in the mekong so I could photograph some more out of the way places and get to know the area a little more in depth. We chose sinhbalo tours and it was really great..the only hitch was that the brochures said leisurely bike rides but 50 kms a day in 40º weather was anything but leisurely. As a result we were also ill equipped clothing wise for this whole adventure.
By the end of it all, Masako was ready to kill me and I had lost like 8 lbs, but it was all worth it and would recommend it to anybody under the right conditions.
