Luang Nam Tha is a sleepy town, with a few markets and lots of guesthouses. Our Guesthouse called Zuela was a large teak structure with cosy clean rooms. A lovely place to zonk out and relax, so much so that I tried to find reasons to twart out plans to leave. From Luang Nam Tha there are lots of treks on offer, but the difference is that these tour groups give back to the villages they stay in and to the conservation of the National Forest. So we booked and over night through the Nam Ha Valley, but we had 2 days to kill till it started.So we hired bikes and meandered around town, but we could only see so much. To solve that problem Dave hired a Chinese Cruiser Motorcycle to the delight of the Laos man who had it on offer and the local kids Dave drove by, waving and beeping. A motorbike is special, a cruiser even more so - that day we did not do so well at blending it, but it was fun and much more comfortable ride than previous scooters.
