Sunday 4 October

The night is very long. We are thankful for the stool! About 9ish we get to a stop were lots get off and we grab a seat. Now we can switch between the stool and the seat. The
Passageway is much clearer. We can breathe and move without care now. We think the train will arrive at 10 am, but that comes and goes. It's about 10:44 when we arrive and we weave our way through the station. The metro is close and we catch it for 6 stops. On the metro TV we see a typhoon warning. Then a short walk and lots of looking and we end up in a massage pallor; it had the hotel name on the outside. There is heaps of construction going on the first floor and it's uninviting. Lots of food places too. Eventually with the help of a guy pointing us in the right direction we get checked in and take a long nap. It's our first round bed in our travels! The weather is horrible with no looks of improving for the week either. I'm starving after the nap but it's a while before we go looking for food. The weather is worse and we wander around looking for a good place. Eventually we choose one, but the have few vege options so we move on. We buy some steamed buns from the street which are delicious. We eat them then check out again the establishments surrounding the hotel and pick a buffet place that is generous and delicious! And cheap! I do see what looks to be a rat run under a appliance. I guess it's hard to keep them away! Feeling much happier after food and we head back to our room to research and plan etc!
