130km south of L. Prabang.. reaching the town Xieng Khouang.. the junction turning east to Phonsavan, to the mysterious Plains of Jar. but decided to take a miss this time.. will be back with a 250 nxt time..

road towards Van Vieng is so much better..

landscape changes.. more water ways and more limestone hills showing up..
nice river view..

leftPrabang at at 10am.. deciding to go east to Plains of Jar or straight down south to Van Vieng..
