Nick and I put in a long day after we left Phou Khoun, riding nearly 130 kilometers all the way to Luang Prabang. Holy shit was it tiring. We conquered some pretty big mountains though - had some grueling climbs and some crazy descents, and didn't roll into town till after the sun had already gone down.
Luang Prabang is an amazing old French colonial river town. The Khan River runs parallel to the Mekong for a little ways before it hooks around and joins in, and the old part of town sits on the thin strip of land in between the two rivers. It's a wonderful town. Nick and I came here thinking we'd leave after a couple of days, that was about a week ago...
