Welcome Back

Alarm went off at five, picked up at five forty five by a private minivan, just the driver and me. I kept nodding off on the misty ride down to Vientiane.  
We made good time and I had to wait from nine to boarding time at midday.
The flight was quick and next thing I know I’m in a taxi heading for the old quarter. I asked to be taken to Ma May, the driver pulled up and said “here we are, let me check if this place has any rooms”.

I showered and headed out for something to eat, "Lotteria" ah, is there anything greasy chicken won't do? It took me a while to realise we were nowhere near Ma May or where I want to be, it’s almost close but it’s obviously a hotel where the taxi driver gets a kickback. 

I was too tired to notice when we pulled up so I will look for a better place tomorrow. Meanwhile I am going to get some rest tonight and watch some TV. I took a lie down at five, the TV went out, I shut it off and woke up at midnight. I watched the end of some crappy movie then went back to sleep.
