Stuck in Luang Namtha, Laos - Anyone Want a Beer?
 

Hi

While waiting for a part to arrive I will be partaking of a few beers. jeiger

If anyone is interested and going past, please drop in.

I am staying at the Dokchampa Hotel, but do my drinking next door at the Forest Retreat. bier

It is nice to break down in a cheap country, but then shipping here is a tad harder to even that up :)

Cheers

Bump

A beautiful place to get stranded - enjoy your break!

Better than waiting for parts in Viang Veng i guess - this would cause soo much headache bier
Enjoy Laos - hope you find some people to jeiger

Surfy

Luang Nambtha
 

Mate you are having some issues??
Anyway friends of mine those I mentioned who were refused entry to China, and you got in without a issue from Kyrgystan? have also arrived in Luang Namtha (they detoured to Mongolia and entered from Ehrenhot)
they are in Zuela Guest House at the moment. Opposite the night markets.

Cheers

Hi m8

If they are the people in the BIG trucks, then yes I met them in Ulan Batar and also the swiss couple again right here, but they know nothing about HU, but may do after I told them :)

I also met a couple of chaps in a LC who also came down through China with them, they have al gone now :(

Cheers for the ideas though, assuming I picked the right ones ?

G'day m8, ow ya goin?

I am waiting on a starter solenoid Assy, I have two coming in from two different locations, one was totally free, from the VSRI forum, the other was expensive from the local Suzuki dealer. Average cost is good :)

I have been involved in solving the bike issue, ordering parts from many sources, at different times of the day and night, then cancelling the ones I know won't reach me in time.

During this same period I suffered a local wog that was going around, and spend over a day on the dunny, both ends, but not quite at the same time, lucky for the cleaner ;) So, now I wait for Monday arvo my time, and the first supposed delivery time of a part, which may allow me to keep moving.

I have become a bit blase and lazy during this time, and as I have a Kindle and love reading, plus had no bike, I did bugger all ;)

I should start moving again in about 2 days, around the 13th, and I hope to be home maybe late January, after the HU meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand which is on 11th Jan, 2013

Cheers
