First stop was the Westin hotel for a very boozey champagne brunch.

We also finally got to see the Temple of Heaven as it was being repaired when we were in Beijing 2 years previously and we were far to lazy to see it when we were here in January.

Quynh bought a Nintendo DS to keep her amused on long journeys, it came with about 5 CDs worth of games and a little cartridge to load them onto the DS. I helped pick which ones she should load on the cartridge so I can play with it too :)

We made plans to see Helen and Adrian again in Thailand and then said goodbye and headed for the airport to catch our flight to Guilin. Yes breaking the no-fly rule for the third time but this was a no-brainer. The flight was cheaper and 18 hours quicker than the train. Sorry Earth but we’re on a budget ;)
