Wednesday 18 July
From the rocking club we said our goodbyes, went to the hotel, packed and showered then took off for the airport at the break of dawn. Wow. The 6.30am flight was smooth and we passed out before the plane even took off, stealing a couple of hours sleep on the way to Beijing. Thinking what would be the best way to spend our few hours in the motherland, we decided to head straight for our courtyard house and chilled there in the lounge - cosy, welcoming and relaxed. Xiao Ling met us and the three of us had one final meal of dumplings and green tea, in between snoozing. Leaving the place for good this time, we said our farewells to the lovely staff and I realised how warm-hearted Beijingers can be. Lin Yi Lian's song on the car stereo couldn't have been timed better and we headed off across the afternoon heat and traffic singing along with the cheesy Mandarin ballad :) The flight home was delayed, as the Beijing airport is packed to the gunnels, so again we passed out before taking off, slept most of the way home and returned safely into my baby's arms. Mission accomplished.
