Celebrations started early due to the scheduled 2 day boat cruise (aka the slow boat up on the Mekong to Houxay). Party dresses on, the night began sipping chilled Chilean wine in at a bar straight out of Paris. We can’t explain how great a glass of wine is after months of involuntary abstinence. We then headed to L’Elephant from a magnificent 3 course meal (which eased its way onto our top 5). Not ready to end such an indulgent evening, we returned to the wine bar for one last glass of the delectable nectar. The wine bar evidently elevated our status from backpacker to New York socialite when we were mistaken for Americans by some Italian stallions. Had it not been for the late night curfew the partying would definitely have continued.
The birthday girl awoke to a pile of presents wrapped in bath towels, a cupcake from the market and take away tea from down the road. Sadly there was not much time to savour the moment as we had backpacks to pack and a boat to catch. There isn’t much to say about the day, except the odd reminder from G&K that Sal had come of age and tucking in to the stash of birthday cupcakes.
