"China Discoveries"
In and around China
With only 76 weeks left (oops, wishful thinking there I think...more like 6 weeks left!) to go on our 6 month adventure, we are hitting the last 3 most interesting countries left on our itinerary in terms of culture, language and having no pre-conception about how it's going to be! For the next 3 weeks, home is China...travelling from Hong Kong up to Beijing via various different means....bike, train, plane and no doubt a few rickshaws along the way! Enjoy.
