And so to China.
We were told at the hotel that if more
than one was going then it would be cheaper to take a cab. $290 for a
cab and $150 each in the bus. Taxi would take about an hour bus about
ninety minutes. We took a taxi, taxi driver told us about $300, he
really had his foot down and charged us $375 when we got there in
half an hour, he had been going at speeds of 130kph. I knew it was
fast but felt safe but Warren could see the speedo.
We had booked a hotel room near the
airport, we had stayed there before and it was within walking
distance but it was dark and wet so grabbed a taxi, who laughed when
we showed him the address, cost was 11rmb.
Bell hops came out to the car and got
our bags, waited while we checked in and then took us and the luggage
to our room. It was massive compared to the one in Hong Kong. Two
king sized beds, a large desk and two lounge chairs, separate wash
area and large shower.
Good night sleep and again the bell
hops took our luggage to the free shuttle bus back to airport.
