The metro was pleasant enough but ...

Tonight we pick up Wayne from the airport (Ngaires dad) who has managed to align some work travels with a weekend in Shanghai heading first to Beijing before heading to Xi'an (home of the Terracotta warriors) and then (permit permitting) to Lhasa (formerly Tibet).
Thanks again for all your messages - it is great hearing from you all :)
Much love
Chris and Ngaire
