Day13  Time to travel home
Back to the tour

Time to go home.  We had to be at the airport for  9am after our last experience we thought we would leave early and then relax at the airport.  We left the hotel at 8am for the 20 minute ride, drove straight into morning rush hour, which is not a very good name for sitting still in traffic, and arrived at the airport at 9.15am.  The booking in system at Chinese airports is poor and the conditions at Beijing International were very cramped.  Before you can check in you have to pay your airport tax, 90Yuan, by queing in a seperate area.  Having paid and recieved the tax slip you then had to go through immigration checks before reaching the check in desks.  What a relief it was to get rid of those suitcases and relax before our flight.  A great adventure had come to an end.  We have  made many new friends and have many good, and not so good, memories of China, but the best will be remembering how we achieved the cycling bit!  Thanks to everyone for their help, see you on the next one!!
Best wishes to Steve, Chris, Clare and Vince, our companions during the tour, cheers!
