Flights for those other than myself have been changed now about 4 times due to the problems Thai Airlines have had with Bangkok Airport. It looked like everyone was going back another day later but suddenly we are told that the group will now fly back today. Three of the group, Sue, Melissa and Angela decided to stay on in Kunming anyway until Sunday so I will have some company when I go to the Stone Forest tomorrow. It did mean we lost some money on the cancelled bus we had arranged and now we have to pay for our accommodation for the extra 2 or 3 nights.
Set off at 7.30 and reached Kunming airport at 12.40 where the four of us remaining bade farewell to our fellow adventurers. Took a long time waiting for Kim to clear the group through check out so didn't get back to the Camellia Hotel until 2.30pm. We then went to the Camellia Travel agent and arranged our trip to The Stone Forest and Sue and I got tickets for a Yunnan cultural show for tomorrow night.
After arriving at the hotel and freshening up I met up with Kim and the others for dinner which cost us just 40 yuan, but then we decided to get some coffee and ended up at this ultra expensive coffee lounge which actually made a proper cappacinno but it cost 20 yuan ($AUS5) half the cost of out whole meal just 4 doors away! Kim had picked up her bike nearby as she is going to cycle around Bangladesh and India from tomorrow and rode back to the Camellia, whilst the rest of us decided to walk back. Got home around 10.30pm.
