Thankyou for everyones kind words regarding today, 27th july - much appreciated. Arrived from an overnight train at 6.55am this morning to witness the locals doing thai chi in the main shopping street and then visited the silk museum and the world heritage botanical gardens. Leave for Shanghai tomorrow morning. Have found a bowling alley, yey, so maybe tonight we\'ll head there........ The group is much smaller today as the Inland China group finished in Beijing. Hi guys I hope you are all well - missing your company already x Hope all is well in the UK - looking forward to coming home to civilisation!!
