We bumped into the German man again and had a chat about our respective travels. He was 74 and widely travelled in China as well as most other parts of the world including such places as Vladivostok and North Korea.

Na de waterval zijn we snel richting Muang Sing gaan rijden. Een slangenweg van ongeveer 50 kilometer, asfalt afgewisseld met plotselingen onverharde stukken, en mooie uitzichten.
