The next day Doug's knee still hurt so we decided to have another slow day. I had fallen in love with one of the knifes at cooking class that allows you to cut the fruits to be wavy and I wanted to see if we could find a place to buy them. We went on a long walk to the big market which was full of all kinds of junk but not my knifes.
One of the things that we've found constantly surprising in Asia is that it seems that style of selling is such that everyone near each other sells exactly the same thing. It is very odd as you'd think how many people need to sell plastic kitchenware - but it seems that there is enough of a market to sustain 20 people selling exactly the same plastic kitchenware all next to each other.
After about an hour of fruitless searching we gave up and headed home.
It was still early in the afternoon so I suggested perhaps a trip to the spa. Happily Doug agreed and we went and got facials. They were amazing and afterwards we kept touching our faces to feel how soft they were. With such a great experience at the spa - why stop there? I had been eyeing the 1 hour foot massages and Doug was game so we went to another spa on the street and got foot massages. It was my third spa experience in as many days - so I sat back, relaxed and made the most of it.
The fourth day we had nothing on the agenda other than getting tickets out of there - so I casually mentioned perhaps another hit at the spa? Doug was in! This time he got a one hour Laos massage while I got a much needed mani/pedi.
After so much relaxing, it was on to another Laos airlines flight and back to Thailand.
