Next day: We woke up early so we had enough time for a coffee before the tuktuk pick up at 09:00. We couldn't remember the name of our guesthouse so gave the name of one just next to ours-"Mixay" so we sat outside until we were picked up. Almost 15 minutes late, the tuktuk finally arrived, we loaded our backpacks on and went to "Vientienne hostel" to pick up another passenger, who was the German Kiera knightly look a like who we shared a tuktuk with at the Laos ...

We had a bit of a lay in today as we didn't have anything planned to do until tomorrow. We woke up and chilled in the room playing with the kitten for a while before we headed out for some brunch. We found a cafe on the corner of the main road which Dan had spotted earlier that morning while on his walk to bus cigarettes.

Today is even hotter than yesterday so i hoped it wasn't a long walk to the COPE centre! Before we started the walk, we went to the main road to book our bus ticket for the next ...

February 17th: When we woke up and stepped out of the hostel, we were immediately hit with the heat. We decided to grab breakfast at a small cafe we passed the night before. They had more breakfast options on the menu with better pricing than the place we went to yesterday. We sat outside and both ordered a banana shake, which was hard not to finish in one go considering how hot and lethargic i felt. We then ordered two of the "aussie breakfast"s, these included...
