Up early - no problem. Had a good night. Beds in China are hard, just how we like it.
so now we are off to Changbaishan, to the mountains and the volcano crater.
We have now gone through Beijing, Dalian,Shenyuan and now in Jilin.
In Shenyuan a city of 7 million, there is hugh railway station. I mention this because our window opened out to a view of the main station and I have never seen so many tracks in one place!
John and I like traveling on railways and I tell you it was quite a big disscusion about us traveling on the china railways. As a result I missed out on my nightcap as we had to get up early for the next day?
Last night we strolled along the Songhua. Beautiful music fountain, lights. People everywhere enjoying their National Day. We are told it is a quite like Shanghai along the Bund.
Did I mention the weather? Just beautiful.
Members of our group 33 in all, are all very experienced in driving Adventure style all over the Asia region.
Willian and Helen did the KL to London last year in their
Discovery covering Central Asia in detail. they drive her again.I was really excited listening to their stories.
Larry and Daisy, go on to the Beijing to Paris Rally next May in their 1945 Rover! this time they are driving their '71 Rolls Royce. she is beautiful to see as we turn a bend. She is car No.5 we get a good view of her.We are No. 12 so we get a good view of everyone. behind us is car 12A, the sweeper. No prizes to see who's the rookie on this trip.
Shall hopefully continue tomorrow if there is internet. Breakfast calls as we are very punctual on leaving.
Wait for the section on the comfort stops!
