Packing gets more difficult the longer you travel. It took significant engineering to get all of our stuff into our cases this morning, particularly since the purchase of many souvenirs in China.
We are going to Vietnam today.
We had lunch at the same little restaurant we have frequented each dinner and lunch for the last three days. It has an extensive menu and very cheap, and is always busy with locals. This is a good sign. Last night we ordered three plates of dumplings mmmmmm. The owners treat us like old friends as well.
Travelling with children has been interesting - they let their emotions out much more clearly. If they are tired or not coping with the culture we have known it.
On the other hand they have coped far better than I thought with new situations, eating new food, patiently standing on buses and trains and walking quite long distances. Their concept of then world has grown bigger and they are experiencing what it is like to be the outsider. They are always stared at in the street and are often asked if they could have their photo taken. Annika hates it. Gab doesn't mind - which is strange because I thought it would be the other way around.
UPDATE
On the flight to Vietnam we were blessed with air travel gold. We were upgraded to premium economy (bigger seats, more leg room, better meals, more attention) and we were the only ones in the section so we had a whole row each. I may never be able to go back behind the curtain to economy again.....
