Bike Trip in Laos

Wrapped up our tour of Laos in the south, and we LOVED it! Same as the north, very relaxed place to travel and the people were super friendly. We arrived in Pakse in the south and wasted little time there renting 2 motor bikes for 5 days and heading out on the road. We hit 6 towns, 6 water falls, and put on just under 800km in our action packed 5 day journey. Travelling by motor bike was a great way to travel, and we only wish we could do it more often. Here is us at our first waterfall. Stopped for a night in Tadlo. Spent an afternoon seeing the sites on a back of an elephant. Trekked through a river, up to some falls and through a village. Our elephant was female 65 years old, and her name was Boonma! We were very impressed on some of the terrain she could walk across. We didn't expect her to make it through some of the terrain we ended up crossing...Our 2 motorbikes. Got to love the 100cc Honda Waves!A little of the scenery along our route...Another waterfall. Apparently over 100m tall.

Made it to Attapeu, and we enjoyed seeing this bus as we pulled into town. Check out the roof... We got the feeling locals think only fools would drive here on motorbikes!Some of the scenery on our nice sealed road to/from Attapeu.Paksong is a town of coffee. This is the locals drying out the coffee beans. You have to love seeing them walk through it with their bare feet and raking/spreading it out.More falls just after Paksong. These falls were awesome, even larger than the last ones, and it looked like they fell into a giant whole in the ground.
Were rewarded with seeing this snake at these falls. This is apparently a very poisonous snake, but not aggressive. As long as you leave it alone, it will leave you alone.And yes... More falls. To get an idea how big they are, that is me standing at the top.
