Palmers travels

Geo: 29.88, 121.55This morning, we went to our hotel for breakfast, what a line up of food! So much to choose from. We were getting picked up at 9am for another factory visit, and Clint's excited about this visit too!! As this is a business trip, our visits remain private. We did get fed lunch tho, and later we were taken back to our hotel. We had from 3.30pm to about 8pm to find things to do, so we went back to the man who sold us Dumplings for lunch to take his children some chocolates and biscuits from Australia! The children were so happy! After, we walked to the train station as we thought we would save time by buying tickets today instead of tomorrow. From here we caught the subway, this was an adventure, ... read more

Geo: 31.2364, 121.472We ventured out to the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Mall for breakfast, once again we had Subway for breakfast, easy, good food and cheap! Back on the train to the Trade Fair, so easy to get around on the subway, and cheap. We went back to see more of what we saw yesterday, but had questions for some of the stands. We spent a few hours here, just walking around takes hours!We left the trade fair and went back to the hotel, to change into casual shoes, then we waited to meet a friend, and then we went out for dinner.... read more

Geo: -37.8143, 144.963Our flight back to Australia was via Melbourne, otherwise we wouldn't be home until the 20th, due to Chinese New Year celebrations and all flights on Singapore Airlines being booked out. This part of our trip, I felt sick, the Delhi Belly was starting to affect me. I was feeling cold, very tired and needing to visit the toilet very often! I was planning to finish writing the Travelpod and then get some sleep but my body had other plans!! We got up to cruising height, and the food and drinks trolley came out, just the smell of the coffee made me feel sick. I took the food tray, and a red wine, but only had the water and cheese and crackers.. and the red wine!! Well I got my exercise getting up and ... read more

Geo: 27.8938, 78.0681After going to bed at 2.30, (well I did, Clint went a lot earlier) we were up at 6am, a long day ahead of us, travelling back to Delhi today. Luckily I had packed up almost everything last night, there wasn't much really to pack. Clint woke up, still popping the pills to hopefully make him feel better. We checked out of the hotel and waited for Shymal, our driver, to collect us. He was working on Indian time, but he wasn't too late! After we jammed all our luggage in the rear of the car, we were off back to Delhi. Hanh and Thanh are flying out today and need to be at the airport by 11.30am. Clint and I are going back to the same hotel we first stayed at in Delhi, ... read more
