Next
stop was the doctor for the vaccinations and Lene went back to the Embassy to collect
our Visa’s and passports. Whilst Lene and Thomas were getting their
vaccinations Steven drove our cat – Peanut - to our friends who'd be looking
after him whilst we were in China. The final stop was the bank - they had the money
ready. There hadn't been time to give Yanmei much thought, and as we looked at
the clothes that we'd packed for her, we wondered whether we had enough clothes,
the right size etc. Time would tell. By
late afternoon we were packed and ready to go. The only thing that we hadn't
managed to do was to buy presents for the staff of orphanage and other officials that we would come into
contact with in China. Lene’s brother, picked us up at 16:30 and we were on our way to China, both physically and emotionally drained. It was hard to believe that we managed to pull it all together in such a short space of time. We hadn’t had a single second to think about what to expect in China – on what was going to be our first trip to Asia. The travel books were left unopened - they were supposed to be reading for the the last month before travel. We had little idea of what to expect. We
checked in and went for a drink in the lounge – we needed it. At the gate, we
met Jens,
Gunhild, Vita (their
daughter) and Rigmor (Gunhild’s sister), for the first time. Heidi and Jimmy
were already in China. The
