Today was a travel day. We headed back to Guilin, from the beautiful Rice Terraces, where we had lunch and then went to the train station for the 3 hour ride on the bullet train to Shenzhen which is the end of the line for mainland China. From the station we were picked up and taken through the Chinese exit process, quickly followed by the Hong Kong entry process, all in all it took about an hour. A little silly if you consider, in effect, we were leaving China and entering China!!
Once in Hong Kong we had to adjust to driving on the other side of the road, just like rel Brits do.
This weekend is the Chinese equivalent of Canada Day, except it lasts a week, so unfortunately everything is busy. So busy in fact they had to upgrade us to a Club Room on the top (18th) floor.
So far it looks like the cheap meals of China may be a thing of the past, this place seems a little expensive. This is even more true if you order 4 tour tickets instead of 2 by mistake, hopefully they will take pity on me and refund the cost of the extra 2 tickets.
