Day 15 – The Muslin Quarter, Xi’an

A fairly quiet day today, we had a flight at 19:00 to Shanghai so we took it fairly easy. We decided to go to the Muslim Quarter, somewhere we had heard about, but didn’t really know much about. This was a great area, a labyrinth of streets filled with small food stalls, souvenir places and...

Day 6 – Last day in Hong Kong

So, our last day in Hong Kong, and the end of the trip in our first country. We’ve had a great few days here, but took it a little easier on the last day as we’ve worn ourselves out pretty much with all the walking. BTW, we’ve been keeping a track of our steps through...
