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!!

Blog update

Blogs are high on impossible here. Not sure if I will get on again.

Anyone can contact my email however - dspearson@TalkTalk.net

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:







Chengdu - Eastar Hotel



Chongqing - Ramada West







Suzhou - Pingjiang Lodge



Shanghai - The Ambassador
