Vientiane fun
The bus dropped us off in the centre of town,
We picked up our bags and looked up then looked down.
The road was so quiet, we didn't know where to look
But then a friendly face came and offered us a tuk tuk.
We rocked up at our guest house and checked there was space,
Vientiane was looking like a really nice place.
The room was all clean so we unpacked our pants
We only realised later we shared the bathroom with ants.
It was still only early but we wanted to eat,
So we sat with some locals and had noodles and meat.
The food was so tasty and ever so cheap
But we were tired from our journey so we went for a sleep.
A few hours later when we woke from our doze,
We got washed and we dressed and went out for a nose.
The day was so hot, there was sweat in our fringe,
So we stopped for a shake; banana and orange.
Together we decided it was time for a treat,
So a massage it was, on our legs and our feet.
Into the night we found a great place to dine,
We had burgers and chips and a large glass of wine.
The very next day we both woke with a frown,
Emotions ran riot and we were both feeling down.
But we stuck to our plan of renting a bike,
'Coz' most of the sites were too much of a hike.
Jan lead the way with our little pink cat,
First the Laos monument, and then 'WAT Pha That'.
At one point in the day, we did have a scare,
We returned to our bikes but they weren't even there!
We found them in time, in a car parking spot,
But we had to pay up, and cheap it was not.
Our biking adventures were great on that day
It really did blow those emotions away.
To continue the fun we went bowling that night
And were surprised to find out that we both did alright!
But the music was dreary and really not cool
So we put the bowls down and went out to play pool.
On the third and last day in our temporary home,
We still had our bikes so we went for a rome.
We walked through a market of gorgeous silk scarves,
These hard working Laos folk did nothing by halves.
That evening we found us a nice French cuisine,
We both had a pizza but weren't really too keen.
We then had a drink where we'd dined the first night
But a drunk irishman sat with us and he talked loads of shite.
At first he had a rant about a big JCB
And then randomly changed topic; working at the BBC!?
He really did say this, he was up on cloud nine,
I'm not making it up just to make it all rhyme!
At last we escaped and we made our way back,
It was time for weary heads to go hit the sack.
But when we opened the door, there sat a surprise,
Incy wincy looked over with his HUGE spider eyes.
He carried on staring, I looked over at Jan,
We needed to come up with some sort of plan.
I told her to wait there and took off out the room
And returned with the night porter and a big bristly broom.
Incy's future looked bleak, I'm not going to pretend,
His web spinning days had just come to an end.
We did feel so guilty as that's not what we meant
But that spider was NOTHING like you'd ever see in Kent!
The next morning we rose early and jumped out of bed
For the 4 hour journey we had up ahead.
Vang Vieng was our next stop and we really couldn't wait
But our three days in the capital had been really great!
