A drunkards tail

24/4/11 and some of 25/4/11

There was an Englishman who had little control when it came to drink and another that had some. Then there was the Irishman who liked to drink lots and a Scots man who liked it even more. These four people plus a sensible Irish lass and an American who we shall refer to as Jaws all met up for an evening. Causal observers would soon realize that they all got on and were lightly dosed with alcohol. One English man had a cackle that could be heard in England, the Irishman had the gift of the gab and the Scots man had a temperature due to a complete lack of non alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. After a lining of the stomachs with pizza the quality of which was dubious the real work of the night began. Arriving at the bar the two trios drank, cackled, told stories and had fun.

Then it was pumpkin time as midnight had arrived. The now less sensible Englishman and his generally drunkard husband had to depart as alas they had a flight the next morning. After a round of goodbyes and of course a parting drink they set off into the night. Feeling a bit wobbly they elected to be driven three to a motorbike back to the hotel. After just fours hours kip an annoying buzz could be heard followed by two Englishmen lumbering around trying to leave the hotel before the taxi arrived. Success was grasped and the duo left and as by a miracle with passports and belonging in hand. Passing two prostitutes emerging from another room on the way out they emerged safly at the bus terminal.

The drunkards now feeling less drunk and more hungover were processed at the airport, packed into a flying tube and dispatched to Laos when they crawled into the next hotel bed…


The rest of 25/4/11 (4pm-10pm!)

After sleeping off the booze we woke, ate, read, and had hangover food. Burger, chips and soft drinks before heading back to bed. We did however decide we like Loa as its calm, quiet, clean and safe. We can cross the road without fear, no one beeps there horn and there’s lots of monks in orange walking around. Think it may be a few days before we sample beer Lao though!
