Haiphong

Since the last update not a lot has happened.  Got the last boat back to CatBa before the cyclone in the region shut the place down for a few days.  Heavy rain and wind followed and numerous power cuts but nothing serious.  But seems a lot worse up north where I am planning to go next with very heavy flooding and they were only just recovering from the last one.  Also saw another on its way from the Philippines but not sure of its direction. So my stopover in CatBa wasn’t that successful given the weather, the dog bite and the hotel manager losing the plot on a vodka fueled death wish. And the doctor and hospital refused to visit, surprising given the money making opportunities for them. 

 Back in Haiphong to finish my rabies shots, the last one being tomorrow. Then once I am sure the weather is going to be ok will head back north next week.
