Dear parents and friends,
24 hours after meeting at the South Rd gates, we have made it to our hotel in Chengdu. The group travelled exceptionally well…most of us slept on the overnight flight to Bangkok, and despite the wearying travel routine, everyone is in great spirits. The showers at the Garden City Hotel in Chengdu are currently being used with considerable enjoyment!
As we have arrived late afternoon, there will be time to freshen up and go to dinner, before preparing ourselves for the pandas tomorrow. The blog will begin with student input from tomorrow, with each student contributing their thoughts, feelings, observations etc over the next couple of weeks. There may be times when the blog is infrequent, and that will be a result of ineffective (or no) wifi.
Thank you for entrusting your children to us – they will have a magnificent time.
Deane, Nat and Alan
