Hello we have been out of Vietnam now for 12 days and have left China. China blocks all interactive sites, (facebook, blogs, twitter etc) so could not post you!
You may remember in our post. "Speed bumps in Hanoi" I spoke of an Aussie in room 207 with a brain clot and growing. Anthony advised me from Hanoi he had heard sad news that Martin had died in the hospital. When we received this sad chilling news Pam and I were dumbstruck. Neither of us expected this. We can still see his mobile and personal effects left beside his bed.
I can only think our decision that day to wait and see, had a positive outcome for me. Pam says my nine lives are well and truly used up. Room 207 is not my favorite number.
Scams happen all the time. "We are a moving target"> Some you pass over, some you just get mad. We got scammed again. Taxi 3 times the fare and wrong platform, and a so called porter, not a porter at all. And the rail police cop the back handers.
When we left the Hotel Paramount (where Pam had stayed alone visiting me daily) the staff all said Bye Bye to Pam. She made her mark. They were so kind and caring to her while I was not there, it sort of makes up for the bad vibes and scams.
We expect these things to happen on the "Great train Journey"!
We are in Ulan Batuur the capital of Mongolia.
