intermediate post

am updating the blog from a rather swanky hotel (for us) in dengzhou in helan province.
the swankyness of this hotel is being judged by the fact that there in an internet connection.

however, they do not have an english adaptor or plug so this post will be very short and will not have the usual attention to detail and subtle replies to those who comment on our blog- these will come later.

we have had a heavy day of driving and daddy's enthusiam at smashing wilma and larry into the massive potholes that love suprising us on the roads caused larry to loose another wheel.
but it was ok as it was the other wheel this time that had, up until that point managed to remain in tact. we soon saw to that.

battery going on my computer.
details on exploits to come later.

Back from Syria and glad to hear of your exploits. It was clearly pretty lucky that you got out of Mongolia whilst you could. You may not have had any belongings left otherwise.

Syria was lovely; although not as relaxing as it should have been, I did manage to catch up on sleep when I was lying in bed ill for two days in the middle. We also heard about a car bomb that took place on our last day that killed 17 people. Unfortunately it was on the other side of Damascus from us and therefore we missed out on the action.
