Just over a month to go

Well it won't be long until we set off on our Big Adventure to China. Originally the main reason for us going was to watch the Women's World Cup as England qualified for the first time in 12 years. And while we are going to watch the ladies play their matches, that seems to have taken a backseat as the main reason for going.

I realised when we first started planning this trip that I had absolutely no knowledge of China whatsoever. I'd heard of Beijing and Shanghai and that was the start and end of my knowledge. Reading about places and cities over there I am overwhelmed with the amount of huge cities there that I've never even heard of and trying to decide just where we're going to get to and how many places we'll actually get to see is one of the hardest things ever.

What we do know is that our trip will start and end in Shanghai. We know that we're going to Beijing for a few days and we'll also get to see the Terracotta Army in Xi'An. Apart from that we're a bit undecided but a decision is going to have to be made soon as to what route we're going to take and what cities we are going to visit as we need to book hotels.

Oh what to do and where to go .... quite a nice predicament to be in to be honest.
