Beijing

Today started really early, our flight was scheduled at 6:30am which meant he had to be at the airport at 4am, hence we left Gold Coast at 3am. Our first stop Sydney international terminal 3 where we waited for a couple of hours before getting in the A380 that would take us to our next stop Hong Kong.

The stopover in HK was really quick, less than an hour and off we went, this time on Dragon air.

By the time we arrived in Beijing the local time was 0:00 i.e. 2am in Gold Coast, basically 24 hours from the time we woke up to get to the airport in the morning, completely exhausted we found our way along the huge Beijing airport.

Fortunately Jessie, our local guide, had organised private transport so we didn't wait much and 40 minutes later we arrived at our hotel.............end to our first dayRead more
