Unfortunately however, our second experience was woefully different to our first as after just 2 hours in to the 8 hour journey, Tessa endured a chronic sore throat while I was left hugging the “bathroom” sink with an unceremonious bout of food poising.
In hindsight, I should have known that wontons, dumplings, potato chips, Red Bull, pancakes, tofu, banana fritters, ice-cream and beer don’t sit together well.
Perhaps I was becoming too brave – or stupid.
Nursing our temperamental conditions, Tessa and I opted to spend the majority of Tuesday in one of Datong’s finer hotels (200 RMB), eventually surfacing around 4pm to explore the city’s treasures.
After traveling for seven days straight, we started to feel the strains of excessive journeying.

Relieved by the kind hearts of and warm spirits of the Datongese, our pace slowed significantly.
In fact, after visiting a local internet café, we stopped for diner, before retiring to our rooms at a respectable 9pm.
