My good friend Kerryn is leaving Laos and heading back to Australia in early December. So another friend had the idea to do a cycling scavenger hunt through Vientiane with friends popping in throughout the day. Hillary Clinton provided clues via text.

| Kung's cafe for brunch. |
We started with brunch at Kung's cafe, a quaint little Laos cafe in town. It's down the end of an alley and has become an institution in the expat community.
 |
| Patuxai yoga |
From there we headed off to Patuxai, a classic tourist attraction that was built with donated funds from the U.S. (not quite the intended use of the money). There we flexed our yogic muscles to spell out Kerryn's name and recruit a helpful tourist to assist us.

| Stewing my scarf. |
After Patuxai, we cycled to Hung Huaey, a weaving center outside of Vientiane to tie dye silk scarves. They turned out surprisingly well.
 |
| Well done ladies. |
 |
| Showing off our handiwork. |
We then headed back into town for some drinks and snacks at another classic expat hangout, the Spirit house.
By that time we were pretty tuckered out from all the cycling and decided we deserved a foot massage a.k.a. nap time.

To finish the day off, we went to a lovely little Laos restaurant for some tasty Laos dishes. A very successful, yet exhausting day!
