THE "CHINESE FOREVER EXPRESS"

Hello, Hello.... we have so much to say in such a short time. We are setting on the 58th floor of the Macau Tower... the 10th tallest free standing structure in the world. We just ate in the 180 Degree Lounge on this floor. This has to be the prettiest view I have ever seen from a computer. We can actually see very well back over into mainland China.


Our 37 hour train trip ending up lasting 58 hours.... "The Chinese Forever Express". We were supposed to go to Wuhan but never made it because we were rerouted due to the flooding and scheduling of other trains. We ended up taking the long way around to Guangzhou ... over 2000 miles. Luckily the train was air conditioned and we had a small cabin with 4 good beds. The scenery was excellent, but the food got monotonous and our snacks ran out, we had not planned for so long a train trip. The baby did good, even though he is cutting 4 new teeth.

We are heading this afternoon back to Hong Kong via boat. We will be in HK 2 nights and then leave on Tuesday for the good ole USA. Hope to blog again before we leave.
