Day 10
A very early start today with a 6am departure, as we knew check in and security would take us a while. This is the only pic I have of the airport as the guards were armed!
The trip home was bumpy most of the way, and as we were sitting at the back, we swayed around like an elephant’s tail. But it gave time to reflect.
Tripadeal- was it too good to be true?
It would be easy to say yes, because so many things didn’t happen as we thought they would. But when you travel, the key word is ‘flexibility’ right? It certainly wasn’t Tripadeal’s fault one flight was cancelled and part of the Yangtze River was temporarily closed. Probably the only thing we wished we’d known beforehand was the ability to upgrade our cruise package. And as we were able to do that with no problem, it wasn’t an issue.
As with any travelling, you get what you pay for. The food and accommodation was fine, our fellow travellers were a hoot, and what we saw in China was an eye opener. Our guides tried hard, and within the parameters of what they were allowed to say, most of our questions were answered!
I can definitely say we’ll book with Tripadeal again. Maybe not next year, but who knows??
