01-Mar The journey home

We packed up our things and left our luggage with the hotel concierge. We had a few hours before we needed to head out to the airport. We had one last breakfast at our favourite dim sum restaurant then walked down to the waterfront and walked through the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park. We collected our bags and took the airport express to HKG.

 
Nanaimo
Our flight took off just as the sun was setting and in just a couple of hours we were back in Pudong for the third time this trip. Our Vancouver flight made good time and we landed about 10.5 hours later, crossing over Vancouver Island with dusky views of Nanaimo.

It has been a wonderful trip of Tea, Trains and Tropical Travels. We traveled from the hot dry coast to the cool, lush mountainous region and to the east, west, north and south coasts. We rode every class of train, experiencing everything from the air-chilling comfort of first class to the hard bumpy carnival ride carriages of local commuter trains. Drinking tea, everywhere we visited, in a gesture to welcome us by new friends, in restaurants and guest houses and as souvenirs to bring home for ourselves and to share with friends.
