Emotional farewell to the children at Heathrow and off we go on a 777 to Dubai. A few drinks a very reasonable dinner. James as always managed to get a couple of hours kip in. In 30 years I have never figured out how he can sleep come what may, wherever, whenever!
Dubai was a bit of a nightmare at 3.00am in the morning but we cruised onto an Airbus A380 – very exciting and very comfortable. James yet again managed to get a couple of hours kip in. I watched Robin Hood followed by Generation 39.
Very sweaty Beijing. Thought we’d lost our bags but they turned up eventually, then off to the Shangri-La in a VW Fox. James once again managed to get some kip in! Sitting now in my very comfortable room 22 floors up looking out over a very smoggy Beijing.
Off for dins!

Make sure you have some real-deal Peking duck and pancakes whilst you're in Peking. Mmmm, delicious!! Camilla x
