Only a small piece, but that drag on and are tiring. But then we reach the border of Laos and the border crossing went smoothly and &#8222;the next level is unlocked&#8221;. The next hurdle is the crossing the Meng Kong river. With a small ferry but this also went without problems. Drive another 20 kilometers, we reach the day&#8217;s destination.<br \/>  In Pak Beng we try to load the motorbike on a boat, but ultimately fail because the driver does not want or ask for too much money. The first disappointment is big. But later, we see that the boat is loaded with ordinary tourists and it would not really romantic. Thus, the motivation rises again, we enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner on a beach of Meng Kong river. We cooked green curry with pork, vegetable and rice. In addition there is a fresh salad. I put several candles on the rock next to, to have a wonderful view. With soft music and a coffee, we sit a long time there and enjoy the moment.\n\n **********************\n\n Tagesziel: Neues Land.\n\n Zuerst fahren wir aber noch in den Bergen von Thailand herum. Nur ein kleines St&#xFC;ck, das sich aber in die L&#xE4;nge zieht und erm&#xFC;dend ist. Dann erreichen wir aber die Grenze zu Laos und der Grenz&#xFC;bertritt verlief reibungslos und &#8222;das n&#xE4;chste Level ist freigeschalten&#8221;. Die n&#xE4;chste H&#xFC;rde ist die &#xDC;berqueruung des Meng Kong. Mit einer kleinen F&#xE4;hre ging aber auch dies Problemlos. Noch 20 Kilometer fahren und wir haben das Tagesziel erreicht.\n\n In Pak Beng versuchen wir den T&#xF6;ff auf ein Boot zu verladen, was aber schlussendlich scheitert, da die Bootsf&#xFC;hrer nicht wollen oder zu viel Geld verlangen. Die Entt&#xE4;uschung ist zuerst gross. Doch sp&#xE4;ter sehen wir, dass das Boot vollgestopft ist mit Pauschaltouristen und es nicht wirklich Romantisch gewesen w&#xE4;re. Damit die Motivation wieder steigt, g&#xF6;nnen wir uns ein romantisches Candle-Light-Dinner am Ufer des Meng Kong. Wir Kochten gr&#xFC;nen Curry mit Schweinefleisch, Gem&#xFC;se und Reis. Dazu gibt einen frischen Salat. Ich stelle diverse Kerzen in den Felsen neben an auf, um einen herrlichen Ausblick zu haben. Mit sanfter Musik und einem Kaffee sitzen wir l&#xE4;ngere Zeit da und geniessen den Moment.\n<br \/>\n<!-- ENTRY BODY ENDS -->\n<br \/>\n\n]]><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mengkong \/ MengkongPak Beng, Lao Peoples Dem Rep Pak Beng, Lao Peoples Dem Rep 31.3.2014 Pak Beng, Laos Km: 56752 Mengkong \/ Mengkong Today&#8217;s goal : new country .
