Years of memories!

We took the imperial jewels of china tour with the add on to Hong Kong. A tour to my mind should be educational, friendly, well-organised and full of moments to remember. This tour succeeded on all fronts. Hotels were well located and high end. The guides used were very honest and delightfully friendly. We learned so much about life in china. Baggage was collected from outside rooms and well organised with no problems. The group gelled quickly into a friendly and helpful bunch partly thanks to lots of excellent meals around lazy Susan circular 10 seater tables. Yes, the walking tours could be physical at times but were certainly worth the effort. Who wouldn't for the likes of The Great Wall, Forbidden City and Terracotta warriors. There are so many things to tick on your Bucket List on this tour, it's ridiculous!
As we travelled from City to City and visited towns on our cruise you could see the different changes both in the food for instance and the people. It really did make me want to learn more about this country and I have borrowed or bought four books already as proof. Do yourself a favour and read up about say the history surrounding Terracotta Warriors before seeing them...it will make it extra special.
Hong Kong was well worth it and must be seen. If there is one thing to show if a holiday is good it may be that consideration of the weather was never in our minds. In actual fact we had 2 days of dampness, one seeing the pandas in particular, never did it affect our enjoyment whatsoever. Now say that about a beach holiday! This will not be the last time we travel with BJC.
