Dag 7-9
Zondag 10-6 Dag 7
Ivm ons vertrek naar de haven morgen en het vertrek van Trudy en Elly naar Mongolië, vandaag een rustige dag gehouden waarbij we zaken nog een goed met elkaar hebben doorgesproken. Verder hebben er werk van gemaakt om de medische spullen die we voor onderweg hebben meegekregen eens goed met elkaar door te nemen. Uiteindelijk moeten we elkaar in geval van nood allemaal kunnen helpen. We weten nu hoe we een gifpompje moeten gebruiken, met brandwonden om moeten gaan en onder andere hoe we vuile wonden kunnen behandelen.

Dag 6-7
Friday june 8
Today we granted ourselves some rest. Trudy and Elly went out to do get some grocery which turned out to be an adventure in itself. But in the end the manged to buy everything we wanted, quite an achievement for someone who doesn’t speak Chinese.
In the afternoon we had an appointment with Willem van de Nes from BoonEdam who arranged for us to be picked up at our hotel.
Dag 4-5
Peking part II
June 6
Our cars will arrive Sunday June 10 at the Xingang harbor. We hope to be able to pick them up shortly thereafter. This means we have a few more day in Peking then planned. We have had contact with Save the Children Peking and will visit them tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime we are acting like tourists, all in pace due to the 36 degrees. Visited a people’s neighborhood a so called ‘Hutong’. Small streets and everything build closely together, very cozy. Although the locals are very friendly its hard to get into contact with them. Using a riskja we were brought to the Hutongdistrict after which we visited the ‘Drum tower’. These towers where used in old days to announce time, similar to our church bells.
Day 2-3
Peking visit
Today we visted the hospital, our guide ran across all the doctors on our list and within no time we had an impressive collection of stamps and signatures. This should enable us to get our chinese driving license from the police.
