Obnoxious Odour

‘There really is a most obnoxious odour coming from my bag’ said Martyn.
‘Oh dear, umm I don’t think there is anything in your bag that could smell that bad is there?’ said Kay
‘.. then again, it could just be me’ mused Martyn.

I haven’t gotten that close to him since then!

Arrived in Chengdu hotel about 2.30am wearing a jumper and shivering. Fell into bed, 8 hours later the world was a much better place – sleep is an amazing thing!

Brunch at 11, la-de-dah, brunch ha. Ha.
Sichuan dishes – nice and spicy. Breathing through my stuffed up nose suddenly became much easier!

Walking tour of Chengdu to some little old streets, the peoples park, and then the main square to see a statue of Chairman Mao in ‘hailing taxi’ stance.

Back to our hotel for an hour before dinner – Martyn has discovered that we have free internet and is therefore making the most of this, currently he is:

1)      Preparing more blog pictures for you to enjoy
2)      Downloading episodes of Battlestar Galactica to watch on our upcoming 8 hr bus journey
3)      Rigging up something at home remotely to allow us to get round certain.. ah .. restrictions.. from the country we’re travelling in.

Off to see a show this evening, Not sure what, something to do with masks apparently.

By the way, Pandas tomorrow!!- have I mentioned before that we’re seeing Pandas? – Really we are tomorrow. I’m not excited at all!
