I must confess that I wasn’t looking forward to our train journey.
You never know who you might be sharing with, and as it was such a long journey it was either going to be great or really bad!!
Well we shouldn’t have worried.
We ended up with a carriage to ourselves for the first few hours.
It lacked any power outlets, so there was no chance of watching more than one film on the laptop.
We were a couple of hours into the journey and both laying back just killing time.
All of a sudden, Alison shot up, opened the door and shouted at me to move.
It would seem that we were now sharing our carriage with a mouse who had decided to run across my pillow whilst I was taking a nap.
Within an instant, I did the gentlemanly thing and let Alison have the lower bunk.
Needless to say there was a lot of foot twitching coming from Alison’s bed as she wasn’t able to sleep a wink all night.
It was made worse by the fact that I had blocked all the gaps leading up to the bed with plastic rapping, which made a lovely rustling sound each time the mouse tried to get through !!
After 30 odd hours and little sleep, we arrived in Saigon.
