Getting ready

A weird day with the excitement of the trip but also the realisation for me that it was my last day at Foodstuffs. I arrived there for 6 weeks and left after 22 months. It was a great start with a team breakfast and then Millpond bought morning tea. As always sad to leave lovely people at the end of the day.

Regan had a super busy week trying to impart enough information to the poor person who is covering for him for the month. I had yet another quick shop for trip items, honestly you would think China and Sweden do not have shops.

Our lovely friends/neighbours cooked us dinner which was wonderful and made our final clean up so easy. Then the final pack and we are well under our 71 kilos each weight limit. We are tracking at 45kg in total. So a spare 97kgs for shopping 👏👏👏

Our pick up tomorrow is 8am with our flight to Auckland leaving at 10:10am. We have a 7 hour wait till our Beijing flight. We are catching up with a friend in the afternoon for coffee and a late lunch. Off to bed shortly to try and sleep.Read more
