Leg 3 - The Prequel
Is that the time! 3 a.m. must get to Gaydon for 4 to meet the others! Drive to London, first in the queue for the Chinese Embassy for our appointments at 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Made good time only a couple of hours to kill. Plenty of time to discuss how leg 3 has all come back together due to some hard work in the UK and China.
The whole team was down in London in case there were any questions at the desks but they only wanted to talk to two of us = I think everyone in the queue had the same time for their appointments as there was still a queue outside, 2nd discusion topic - what to wear - ranged from minimal warm clothing to full duvet and 4 season sleeping bag - may have to share - only problem is that none of Lisas stuff will fit anyone else - but she has brought sweets and iscuits !
Minor sticky moment trying to explain that we wanted to be tourists in China using single entry but we were'nt flying into or out of China.
Still, forms handed in, time for more biscuits + nervous wait until 11:30 - SUCCESS, short visit to the dealership in Knsington that had helped previously and then off to Heathrow terminal 2 to get the flight at 9 p.m. That's only 18 hours of commitment to kick start leg 3.
