Day 6 Luang Prabang to Pho Kun

Back on the road!
回到路上了！
Yesterday we took a day off in Luang Prabang to explore the city and venture off to check out the Kuang si waterfalls outside of Luang Prabang...which was stunning. The city of Luang Prabang is beautiful...surrounded by temples, traditonal Laos and European architecture. The cuisine here is fantastic...A normal dinner for the big guy and myself usually consists of a five course meal so we can haul the equipment with no problems...In Prabang we received a shipment of 280 pieces of equipment, but we need them shipped to various parts of the country so we can refill our trailers along the way...which has presented some challenges due to the language barrier...However, our pit crew in Vientiane and Prabang have done their best to get us the equipment and keep the charity drive running!
昨天我们在琅勃拉邦休整了一天，进城逛了逛，还去看了城外的关西大瀑布，那声音是振耳欲聋啊。琅勃拉邦城市很美，周围都是寺庙，既有老挝传统的风格，也有欧洲的风格。这里的美食好极了，通常这个大个和我吃饭时有5道菜，所以我们有的是能量来对付装备。在琅勃拉邦我们收到了280件装备，但是我们需要把它们分散到沿途的补给点，这样我们好沿途补充，由于语言的障碍，实现这一点费了一些劲，尽管如此，我们在万象和琅勃拉邦的后勤小组已经尽力做到这样了。

We were on the road by 10:00 am and I told Cyril the riding today would be mostly flat which I found out from one of the locals...but of course that wasn't the case....Cyril doesn't believe anything anyone has to say about the upcoming terrain and prepares himself mentally for the  worst...Today the nightmares of the Kasi climb were appearing at times, but after conquering those hills from Vang Vieng to Prabang...nothing really can compare. We have been meeting many cyclists and today we met a couple from China and a gentlemen from France who is cycling across the world...We have been sleeping at Guesthouses along the way, but Cyril and I are no longer sharing a room because the snoring that takes place from the big man sounds like a V 8 engine is revving at 10000 rpm...Vanessa thank you for the warning...
我们10：00开始出发，我告诉Cyril今天的路比较平坦，这是一个当地人告诉我的，当然了，不会完全是平地的，Cyril不相信任何人说的关于前面的路况是什么样的，他准备好了应付最坏的情况，今天在Kasi翻越大山时的噩梦也出现过，但是当我们征服了那些从万荣到琅勃拉邦的大山后，这些都不算什么了。我们沿途遇见了不少自行车爱好者，其中有队从中国来的夫妇，还有一个法国先生，他正在骑车环游世界。我们在路上的宾馆休息过，但是Cyril和我再也不愿住一个房间了，因为这个大个子的呼噜声就象V8引擎在10000转时的咆哮。Vanessa，谢谢你的提醒。。。

School was out today and we gave out tons of equipment from Prabang to Pho Kun. The kids are always a little uncertain why we stop and then they see us take out a Takraw ball or volleyball and it goes viral on twitter that two men are bearing gifts...When I say twitter, I mean village tribal call to summon the masses.....These kids have such great energy and it's unbelievable that we can provide them with something so simple that brings them so much joy...
在从琅勃拉邦到Pho Kun的路上我们送出了成吨的装备。孩子们开始总是奇怪我俩为什么停下来，但是当他们看见我们拿出Takraw球或者排球时，我们会喊出大队孩子出来，说这两个人在送礼物。我说的喊，是指他们用当地的方式召唤同伴，这些孩子们活力十足，我们就这样简单的方式就能激发他们这么多激情，简直不可思议。

We cycled 110 km today and we are now at the furthest point north of our tour in Laos. We will be heading east towards the Vietnam border and we are deep in the country side...We handed out 270 pieces of equipment thus far and we are refilling the trailers this afternoon in a town called Muang Noy...We still have many places to go and children to meet...Wish us luck...
我们今天骑了110公里，我们已经到了老挝这一段路的最北边了，我们将向东朝着越南边境骑行，这里真正的乡村，我们送出了270件装备，下午的时候我们在一个叫Muang Noy的镇上补充了装备，还有好多路呢，还有好多孩子们等着我们，祝我们好运吧！

Jiayou!
加油！
