With and early flight to catch I was up at 5.30am to pack my bags. I then checked out of the hotel and caught a cab to the train station to get my train to Narita. After about 1-2 hours on the train I finally arrived at the airport. After going through all the usual stuff you go through when at an airport I made my way to the terminal via train and waited to board my plane.
We had a stop over in Shanghai first for 2 hours before boarding another flight to Beijing. Finally arriving in Beijing in the late afternoon, which proved to be the worst time to arrive as I couldn't get a cab to the hostel because none of the cab drivers wanted to take me that way due to the heavy traffic around that area. Frustrated by this I had no choice but to get into a private taxi, but thankfully as I already knew how much it cost via cab to get to where I was going I only had to pay a little bit more. I know I could've caught the train but I really couldn't be bothered lugging my heavy bags around.
So I finally arrive at the hotel a few hours later, I checked in then went to find some food for dinner. I went back to the hotel and started to go to sleep but then I got a knock on the door and there was a women standing there saying that she was staying in my room as she was also part of the Intrepid group, tired from my day travelling I let her in and went back to bed but then I though hang on the tour doesn't start for another 2 days and I'd paid for this room and that was when the phone rang and it was reception telling me to send her back to reception as they'd made a mistake. Thankful for this news I was able to go back to sleep in peace and quiet.
