We woke at 8am the next day, still clothed, still dirty. We had just passed out.
We were gutted we hadn't met up with the bus friends. I was gutted I hadn't washed!!!!
We got washed and dressed then went off to find a new guesthouse and explore Vientiane. We found Mixay paradise. They charged half the price for laundry so we put nearly all our clothes in for a wash! Hue was so damp our clothes had a funny smell (we couldn't wash in Hanoi because everywhere was shut for the new year).
The only automatic motorbike for rent was a beautiful pink one so Lee donned his hello kitty helmet and we were off exploring.
I was following a map as lee rode. We got board of the map and decided to freestyle... We got lost. We got a flat. We were in a residential area. We realized we had a flat just after we'd drove past the local. Their pubs are literally a garage with children's plastic table and chairs and crates of Laos beer. We were dying to shout something as we rode past (like the inbetweeners at the bus stop) thank God we didn't. It was literally 100m after that we got the flat tyre. I was crying laughing as Lee pushed his pink scooter past the 'pub' they all stopped, pointed and started laughing at him. Next a group of lads on the way home from school pulled to the side of the road to point and laugh too. (Lee was still wearing his hello kitty helmet at this point pushing his pink scooter). The garage boy/man did an old school putting the tyre in water to see the puncture and patched it up in the most unusual way... Hammer and glue?! We paid 5,000kip n were on our way.... The tyre went flat again! This time we just bought a new in tube thing for 30,000kip and headed back. We went past a water park well a big slide that didn't appear to have water on it?? Saw a few more sights then dropped the bike off. We'd seen a nice looking restaurant/ beer garden at the top of the road from where we were staying so we went for dinner. Lee spotted 'the biggest burger in Laos' and Preordered for this evening. Apparently it takes 24hours to prepare but they said they could do it by 8!!!
We returned to the restaurant for 8 and the staff were buzzing. They came and took a picture of Lee then laid down the rules of the burger. 1. If you go the toilet some one must go with (incase he vomits to make room) 2. No one can help 3. You must eat everything on the plate 4. You have one hour to eat the whole burger (a giant timer was then placed on the table). Finally if you eat the whole burger following these rules you will get the (190,000 kip) burger for free. Lee got just under half way and couldn't carry on. Even with the chef coming out to encourage he couldn't do it. When the hour arrived (and several people had walked past taking pics - boldly and slightly) Lee was informed he would now go on the wall of shame! Only one man has succeeded this burger and made it to the wall of fame... (The mans belly looked like it could fit in the burger with ease). We left and went straight back to the room do Lee could release the excess burger....
We had a look around the night market then went back to the room.
