Update from Shanghai

Well it's now Friday and we are just about ready to leave. Not everyone as ready as self with checklists. The last 3 days have been spent getting the vehicle ready, putting in a spare battery, wiring spotlights etc.
Today we are packing up food, getting all the camping gear sorted and deciding where it will all go in the Toyota 4wd.
Brother Patrick has been introducing me to friends at the local expats bar, Oscars. We visited there last time Liz and I were in China. Strange barman who wouldn't open brandy to serve unless you bought the
whole bottle.......so a beer it was!
A customer of Paddy's also took us out to dinner last night where we dined on champagne and lobster, and sharks fin soup.
Paddy has a great apartment in the central city, 3 bedrooms at about 140 square meters.
The weather is ok, cool and overcast. I'll fill in some more details later
