Day 28 - Vientiane, Laos

It's going to be a pretty quick update today. Having exhausted anything of interest that Vientiane has to offer yesterday this morning after breakfast we chill out in the room and watch Matrix reloaded. 

After we head for a day at the gym. We head to Sangarda Leisure centre that we saw yesterday to go to the gym, a massage and then chill by the pool for be rest if the day. 

I love this gym. It's a spit and sawdust type one like what I used to train in. It just be good as even Nat does some weights. I sort her out a little program. She is going to be sore in the morning. 


After my well needed gym session I had a  nice hour long massage (for £1.50) then joined Nat out by the pool. We spent the rest of the day here. It's so nice to have a pool to cool down in during the hot city sun. 




After some lovely bit frustratingly intermittent face time with the family we head out to dinner to a nice little traditional Lao place called Dousng Deuane. I am getting seriously into the Lao traditional dish, the Laap with sticky rice. Damn tasty. After that we do a lap of the block to walk off dinner and head back to the hotel. 8.30pm again. What is wrong with us?



See I told you it was going to be a short one today. Phuket tomorrow but just found out our flight is delayed by a couple of hours. Last minute changes seem quite the norm out here. At least they told us this time. 

PS. Just found Man City vs Arsenal live on the TV. That's the rest of my evening sorted! Bliss.
