Dear Chris, dear Hue,
thank you very much for a great week in Laos. The offroad tour into the north of Laos was amazing, very well organized and coordinated. My expectations have been far exceeded. I will never forget the beautiful landscapes, remote villages in the north and of course not the friendliness of the Lao people. The CRF 300 was in a nearly new condition and just perfect bike for the different terrains.
Hue Lee who guided made the tour perfect. His calm and friendly manner, ability to adapt to different people and driving abilities and perfect local knowledge were the main factors for this successful week.
Riding a motorbike is not without danger in itself. Especially in Laos, there are additional risk factors due to the lack of medical infrastructure or routes through areas that are difficult to access, which you should be aware of. After a few days off-road, your stamina and concentration can also deteriorate. Fortunately, I didn't have a single critical situation because I heeded Chris's advice to ride within my technical capabilities. A little less speed reduces the risk enormously and allows you to appreciate the magnificent landscape in which you are travelling. I will never forget this great week and would contact Chris again at any time if I were planning something similar.
The adventure was wondering, well organised and coordinated. The riding was exhilarating, exhausting and challenging - everything we expected and more. Loas is a beautiful country matched by its beautiful people.
