China Trip Day 12 & 13: Taishan to Guangzhou to Bejing

In the morning, Joseph, Pau Pau, Aunt Pooi and family went to the cemetary to take photos and try to mark where the graves were. The cemetary was up on a hill so it was a lot of walking and hiking.  Grandma Kathy, Maddie and I stayed back at the hotel, then we checked out and walked over to our cousin's home to spend the morning.  I don't have any photos as they're all on other devices.

We then took a van to the bus station where we caught a coach bus back to Guangzhou.  We then caught cabs back to the hotel we had stayed at when we were in Guangzhou a few days earlier.  We really didn't do much as we had gotten to the hotel kind of late and were just really tired from traveling.  I believe Joseph got us McDonalds for dinner and we turned in the for the night.

All I have are these 2 pictures of Maddie reading a book at the hotel in Guangzhou.

The next day was a travel day from Guangzhou to Beijing!  A family friend drove us to the airport (Aunt Pooi stayed in Guangzhou as she was staying in China another 4 weeks!). We walked around and Maddie crawled around with a little boy and his baby sister until it was time to board the flight.  After landing in Beijing we hopped a shuttle to get taken to the actual airport and grab our luggage, found the tour bus and boarded.  We got to the hotel and everything was closed so Joseph and Pau Pau went to go find us some dinner.  We went to bed so we could get up early for our first day in Beijing (and final leg of this trip)!
