The wheels on the bus go....
...for a short while at least. We got back from Kunming about 3:30 in the morning. We left there a bit after 9:00 am, for what was supposed to be a twelve hour trip. It was somewhat pleasant, though the in-drive movies were rather lame. (For the last one, they were playing the English soundtrack for 20 minutes before the driver realized his mistake.) A bit over halfway there, we pulled off for a WC break and the driver and mechanic started messing with the bus. A few hours later, they gave up and an hour or so after that, the replacement bus showed up. The kids were quite anxious about it all, but Yauh Neih and I were okay with it all. A bit annoyed that we didn't know what was going on--but that was hardly the bus company's fault. The final leg of the journey was the worst of it all. I couldn't seem to find a position from which I could sleep or sit comfortably. So instead I fidgeted and watched the clock change and mileposts slowly go by.
