Hi everyone,

This is Kath, David's niece here!!

Just a note to let you know that Unc has asked me to let everyone know via his blog that he is finding it nigh on impossible to access his blog in China, so if you wish to contact him, drop him a line at dspearson@talktalk.net instead.

Bye for now!!

Testing testing!!

Well I'm checked in, through into departures andset to go. Felt a bit daunted this morning but now I'm here ....  If Ive forgotten anything then its tuff! Thanks to Chris B for the lift - apart from them trying to charge £1  for a 10 minute drop off!  The M42 was quiet so managed to dodge the trucks even with a 25kg case behind me.
So this is a test to see if Ican update the blog oOK. Everyone says they want lots of pics, so what can I start with other than .....

Somewhere to snooze ....

Seven hotels along the route, well, six plus the river cruiser!  Interesting how some people review these places on Trip Advisor and the like.  Touch wood, we've always done relatively well with the places we've stayed, so I hope the luck will continue with these:

Beijing - Oriental Bay International

Xian - Days Inn & Suites

Chengdu - Eastar Hotel

Chongqing - Ramada West

Yangtze - Victoria Cruise Company

Suzhou - Pingjiang Lodge

Shanghai - The Ambassador
