Had my first sleep-in, woke up at 8.20 so had just 10 minutes to meet the girls for our scheduled brekky. By the time we finished I decided it was best for me to just head straight to the airport at around 10am. Turned out I was too early as it was only a 20 minute taxi ride there and check-in for my flight wasn't open until 11.30, so just stood around (no seats anywhere in check-in area) and read ny Beijing guide books. Check-in went smoothly and Flight was pleasant. Hainan Airlines hosties were very friendly and smiley and spoke very good English. At airport my pick-up driver was waiting for me as planned so it all went to plan. Hostel is very good and met Christa from Canada and Chris from England. Chris was going out somewhere so Christa joined me for dinner. We found a more up market restaurant around the corner and the food was excellent. Had my first Peking duck plus sweet & sour pork plus snow peas and rice. Cost us 145 RMB ($32）so expensive for China but still cheap for the quality of food.
Having trouble with my portable hard drives as they have picked up a virus somewhere, so taking a lot of time cleaning them up without losing my photos. Its lucky I did have them backed-up onto two different hard drives because the photos were lost on one of them.
