Monday 2 September Bear or no bear! With no breakfast in the hotel, we had breakfast in the room, packed up and carried the bags down to the hotel foyer where the bikes were stored, Disaster then struck, Keith's bear was gone, it had been on his bike since early May, when we first got the touring bikes. Keith was inconsolable, Linney tried to comfort him but got the cold got the cold shoulder, though the hotel manager got both barrels, I thought he looked a little confused with the phone translation. Anyway the bears gone long live the bear! I have no doubt the British Consultant has been informed , I just hope that the incident does not get blown out of all proportion and cause a diplomatic incident and stop all the China -Anglo trade deals
