China, 2014.
In 2014, I went on an escorted tour of China with the JustYou travel company. I had always wanted to walk on the Great Wall of China & this holiday made it possible for me to cross this off of my bucket list. It was my first time in China or Asia & I had a great time. These stories are all about my travel to China, the places I visited, the things I saw & the people that I met there.
Today, we had the morning at leisure in Shanghai before going on a cruise along the Huangpu River to view the Shanghai skyline from the river. After this, we went to Nanjing Road for some retail therapy.

I woke early this morning to find we had moved overnight & were docked further up the Yangtze River. At around 6:45 am, I went to the Yangtze Club on deck 5, where I had tea with Branwen, our fantastic tour rep. At 7:00 am, I went to deck 6 for breakfast in the restaurant.

I woke up early & had a cup of tea around 6:30 in the Yangtze Bar before going for breakfast. I saw Selina, our waitress, before she left, thanked her for looking after me & then went for breakfast.

We eventually arrived in Beijing & then got held up waiting for our shuttle from the internal terminal to the international terminal at the airport. By the time we got to our gate, the flight was already boarding, & it was not long before we were airborne & on our way home.
