After dinner on our last night we arranged to meet in our room to view the photos and videos that had been taken during our holiday and to have "a drink for the road" to finish off the holiday.
We had a great night, lots of laughs and it was a really good way to finish off the holiday.
Images attached: Our hotel - The New City Hotel - at night; various images of us viewing the photos/videos; enjoying the evenings frivolities.
DID WE HAVE A GOOD TIME? Well you can judge that for yourself.
I can only speak for myself - but would I do it again : YES!
We did make the airport on time for our flight home and arrived home safe and sound in Australia on Tuesday Morning 30th October 2007 after a reasonably comfortable flight.
We only lost one thing and that was Frank's camera on the Three Gorges River Cruise.
Some lessons we learnt: Never travel without a mobile telephone; carry enough of your regular medication for additional unexpected stopovers ( some of us got caught short); ideally, a wireless laptop; have alternative arrangements at home in case of delays in returning home; do not do this type of travel unless you have a good degree of fitness. (Lots of climbing, steps and long walks); ideally carry two different credit/cash cards in case one does not work in the cashcard machines.
We did have some difficulty in getting cash out of machines - not all of them work especially those near shopping centres. Best to get cash out at airports or Bank of China outlets.
