From Phong Nha to Phố Châu

When I got up at the Thien Phu Hostel it did still drip a bit outside but the clouds where light and more white than Gray.
Went down for the free breakfast and then the same old same same: pack the bag and strap it on the bike. Adios Phong Nha!
The clock: 61390 kilometres
The sky: Gray but no rain
The road: wet

Off to the mountains again

Green green and more green – if only there would be a blue sky with that green

Almost no traffic again as the road curves through the valley

All those nice little hills

The rain travels before me in the same direction. A whole day without dust!

In the next valley the houses did change. I never saw houses like that. They have no walls inside – only one big room inside.

Wood is expensive now so it is constructed from metal. Can you imagine how hot it gets when the sun blasts on it?

These two are a bit older and still made from wood

This one has only one room – like the green one.

I saw that many times. Instead of walls they use curtains in the house to separate living and sleeping room. Sometimes they only have the “sleeping room” fitted with curtains.

And new ones still under construction

Where the rivers meet

Since there is not a lot of traffic the cows took over the road and hang out here

In the afternoon the street leads into tea fields again. A few kilometres later a mix of tea fields and some rubber tree plantation

There are not many of those left but from time to time you still see them roaming the streets

Another monument. They all involve stairs up a mountain somehow
