I've made a little slideshow of some of the photos from our outing on Sunday. This morning we woke up fairly early. We have some leftover food from other people who have stayed here, but none recent enough to leave us some milk. We went out for breakfast and had to wait until 8.00 a.m. … Continue reading Visit to a Chonqing park with Tony and Della
Today Stephen was feeling a bit better. We took a hop on hop off bus ride around the local area, hopping off at the convergence of the Yangtze and Jiang Rivers at Chaotianmen.

Francis and Hidde organised dinner, with a birthday cake afterwards. It was a very pleasant time with Matt's co residents and staff. I was feeling very stressed because of … Continue reading More days slip by
