The start of the first full day on board the Century Sun.
Thankfully we didn’t wake much before 7am, it was a restless nights sleep but at least we slept in a little. We opened our curtains just in time to see the last of the sunrise, the light through the “fog/mist/pollution as reminiscent of a chinese painting. Continue reading

Road trip day, after a 6:30am wakeup call and breakfast we were on our bus to start our 2+hr trip to Suzhou at 8am.
For the first 30mins of the trip there were high rise apartments almost as far as you could see, it then changed to low rise and farmland, market gardens. Continue reading

John, Georgie, John and Yvette arrived at our hotel from their epic flight from the US via Hong Kong at around 2am, Continue reading
Number of Views :1215Woke a bit early, about 4.30am (it was 6am at home). We were down at breakfast at 7am, there was so much variety. Greg had a Chinese breakfast. Congee, dumplings, noodles, fried rice, veggie steamed roll and a baked bun. I had cereal. Was all very nice.

It took a bit over 15mins. We were out at the airport, checked in all the way to Shanghai, through security, of course I got bomb tested, again!, and we were standing out in front of the Qantas Club waiting for it to open at 4:50am.

Had a great day today, my birthday. Usually feels strange not being at home on my birthday, but not this year. Had fun with Greg and Karlien and enjoyed all of my birthday cards Greg brought with him and messages from home and overseas, oh yes and Haighs truffles before breakfast.
Number of Views :1281We caught the 2pm flight to Perth a 31/2hr flight. Karlien flew from Sydney, 5hr flight, her plane landing 10 minutes after ours. We met at the luggage carousel, then collected our car – a hybrid, that is a first for us, took about 40 minutes to get to our Airbnb at Watermans Bay (28 km) in peak hour traffic.
