This ride was completely off the charts, the best one yet on my whole trip. From about 50 KM out of the Luang Prabang, the scenery became mind-numbing, and it changed in major ways a few times over the trip, including a major hill-climb and decent in a semi-alpine ecosystem, where the hills had no trees. I stopped about 25 times to take photos, it was that good.
Vang Vieng was great, a nice little touristy town, major backpacker destination. Had great accom on river, with view of mountains (and ultralights, and hot air balloons, and kayakers, etc). Watched some World Cup at a French bar, I think I was the only non-French speaker there (no issue, for me).
Ride: 183 km | 4.5 hrs
Stay: Riverview Guesthouse | $ 13 | 5/5
