Off to the Far East


Hello People,

I'm sure most of you know we are off to China next month, so for anyone who's interested we will
keep a travel blog with pictures and random musings for your entertainment.

The general plan is to fly to Shenzhen with our friend David and stay with him and his other half Lianny for a couple of nights and then fly to Beijing, take a train to Quingdao (Tsing Tao, where the beer comes from!) then to Shanghai and finish off in Shenzhen before going home.





If you check out the map, Shenzhen isn't on it but is located just above Hong Kong. It's a big modern city, supposedly a bit like Kuala Lumpur but more populous.

While we are in Beijing it is Clive's ambition to paraglide off the Great Wall at Simatai. There is a local paragliding group which does this and he's trying to organise something with one of them before we arrive. My ambition is to photograph Clive flying off the Wall and to eat copious amounts of Dim Sim.

More after we arrive at our destination!
