Continue cycling through the Lao countryside.

Hello! Sabaidee! - Day 2

After an uneventful night, we departed early again, just after 6 AM.The road was paved most of the way and the potholes were easily avoided.

One of the Termez attractions is the famous Friendship Bridge, the only one on the southern border between Uzbekistan and Afghanistan connecting Termez with Hayraton, the Afghan port.

More than a century ago, in place of the Friendship Bridge, there was first a wooden and then iron bridge through Amu Darya. The first wooden bridge was built under the supervision of the Russian tsarist army general M. Annenkov in May 1888, when Russia was just starting to develop Central Asia. At that time the construction of the Trans-Caspian Railway was underway and a crossing means across the Amu Darya was badly needed.

We crossed the mighty Mekong River and this means we are in Laos! Country No. 36 on our Worldbicycletour! The Mekong is the border river between Thailand and Laos and normally you have to take a bus to get over the bridge. On the thai side we just said that we would prefer to cycle and then suddenly they just let us go and we made it over the bridge! On the Laos side they were a little but suspicious, because we arrived at the passport control a bit before the bus arrived. But it seems that no one really saw us cycling over the bridge, so everything was cool! We still don't know if we were super lucky to cycle it or if this is a normal thing! But whatever! Now it's time to explore the country, starting with a two day boat ride down the Mekong to the city of Luang Prabang! #mekong #laos #friendshipbridge #thailand #mekongmoments #Rausgefahren (hier: Huay Xai/ Chiang Khong Border) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFHniIgTPL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a0lb0mduxaw5

Mukdahaan, parel aan de Mekongrivier

Mukdahaan, parel aan de Mekongrivier

Op mijn trektocht met de rugzak langs de Mekongrivier vanaf Ubon Ratchatani arriveer ik in Mukdahaan, parel aan de Mekongrivier en vol verrassingen. Zo blijkt later.

De geschiedenis van de stad met 25.000 inwoners gaat terug tot de tweede helft van de 18e eeuw en ligt ongeveer 645 kilometer van Bangkok. Net als in de rest van de Isaan trekt ‘Muk’ heel wat minder toeristen dan de meer bekendere…
