Last call for Guangzhou!

We arrived at the airport. We had some time before we needed to board the airplane. So we sat down in a bar. Our boarding time was not yet available, but we figured we had enough time.

When we wanted to go, Manon heard the speaker saying that it was the last call for our flight, so we had to hurry!

We were in time. And we stepped into the bus that would bring us to the airplane. Niki told us in Amsterdam that she wanted to board the airplane with stairs that you see on television. And now we had stairs to board our plane. Only there was not enough time to take a picture from her.

We had a bit of a delay, no idea why. The flight was not that long, luckily. It was a small plane, and it was very warm inside. I slept a little and read in my book: Marley and me. (Great book by the way)

And after two hours we arrived at Guangzhou. Luo and Mr. Zhu came to pick us up.

They brought us to the Riverside hotel, where we will stay for three nights. In a few minutes Luo and Mr. Zhu are taking us to a seafood restaurant. Mr. Zhu's wife Yaou is already waiting for us. Tomorrow I will tell you how it was.

Last day in Hangzhou

Today is our last day in Hangzhou. It’s such a beautiful city.
I really love the Chinese culture and I read in my traveller’s book that visiting a tea house should be a nice experience. The book recommended an authentic tea house on the Westlake.
So we took a taxi and drove about ten minutes to the tea house.
The taxi driver (who is also an English translator) asked us why we went to this tea house. In the mountains is a much more beautiful one, he stated. But we only have a few hours in Hangzhou left, before we take the plane to Guangzhou.

So we decided to go inside. There were a lot of people inside. But we were taken to the roof terrace, away from al the Chinese people. That was not what we intended. But the view is very nice. The waiter brought us the menu card. This was the moment to go somewhere else! One tea costs 16 euro! That was a bit to much for us, and the boys would rather have some beer. So we left.

After a stroll alongside the lake we ended up here:




After a drink we went back to the hotel to pack our belongings and get ready to go to the airport.

Next stop: Guangzhou!

ps. Hangzhou, you are beautiful...

Welcome

Tomorrow I am going to China with the family of my boyfriend.

We will visit Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Hong Kong. And we will do this in 10 days!
