Shanghai

Day 0 We're off but it's no holiday -yet
An easy departure - just had to walk across the road to Terminal 2!
Flight was good and even dozed. China Eastern was fine - food was fine, but not much in the way of movie, and we probably no alcohol did us good.
Scenery was amazing flying over islands and ocean. Storm clouds spectacular.
Arrived Shanghai around 8 pm local time (10 pm Melb time) .
Airport is huge! But as transit travellers funnelled directly to international departure area. A few duty free places, but just one sad cafe. Still a beer and a coffee, were welcome! Need to check the restaurant on the VIP floor on our trip back.
Departed at 12.30 am local time so sleep was the main aim.Read more
