Couple of weeks before we started our journey Beverley called me at work. With a very excited sound in her voice she told me that she was pregnant and that we where going to be parents for the first time. We made some enquires and researched everything we needed to be aware of on our travels regarding the pregancy (diet for example). We took the decision to go ahead with our trip. All was well up untill the morning of day 1. Beverley's morning sickness ha...

Both Beverley and I managed to get some sleep. 7am we pulled into London Euston. With an hour before our train home we grabbed some breakfast at Eds Dinner.

Jumping into a taxi we drove through the sleeping streets of Beijing. Arriving at the airport in no time we paid and tipped our...

The Beijing traffic flew pass as we weaved our way through. Brain told us some information regarding the city. For example that the ancient city ...

The day started slowly with the Beijing traffic outside our hotel window testing their horns. Up a dressed we headed to the subway. My bag went through the x-ray machine for safety in the subway (the sign says). Arriving at Beijing Zoo we brought our tickets, including passes to see the Pandas (which Beverley really wanted to see). Walking around the zoo we saw a range of animals. We found the monkeys swinging from branches and eating what they could find. We ...
