Hello All
I have arrived in Beijing! I arrived last night slightly ahead of schedule as the plane left Dubai earlier than anticipated!
I did Gatwick to Dubai and Dubai to Beijing! ALthough the journey was not without a few problems as at Gatwick I walked up the ramp and onto the plane. However, at Dubai the flight landed in a remote area of the airport as there is a lot of work going on at that airport whilst they expand it. As a result there was no tunnel/ramp down from the plane and the steps I was going to find very difficult having just spent 7 hours sat on a plane as it is all very well saying that we should do certain exercises whilst on the aircraft, However, I am not capable of them!). I had to wait 30 mins whilst that got the lift to have it attached to the aircraft so that I could get off of it, I was then taken by vechile to the appropriate part of the airport, and I am rather glad of that as it took about 15mins in the vechile anyway!
I have already sampled some of Beijing's public transport as I had to go by train to collect my luggage! Beijing airport is very spaceous and there are lots of colourful signs with it being the Paralympics.
I am going to meet up with Timo Kindred and some of his friends later to collect my Paralympic Tickets and then go to the openiing Ceremony!
I think this will do for now and maybe I will be back on later to up date you all on the opening ceremony and maybe put some more pictures up! After all I should have no excuse really for updating it everyday as I have brought my laptop out here and I have the internet in my room.
The weather is overcast currently, but rather warm! It was 20 C last night at 10.45pm!
Enjoy reading and Regards
Zoe
