This was a long day on the motorbike, 11 hours and over 320 km. The road was straight and flat and only a bit rough, with a speed limit of 80 km/hr. On a little Honda 125cc, even going 70 km/hr makes you feel like you are really flying. The goal was to make a lot of progress toward the border crossing to Vietnam.
The landscape was the large flat river plain around the Mekong, filled with large rice fields, and hills in the background. The road only came close to the river a couple of times.
Along the way there several Buddhist temples and monasteries, usually fairly large. There are always quite a few monks there, and it seems like the number of boys who are monks in Laos is quite high.
