In Guangzhou

Nanchang is left behind and we've landed safely in Guangzhou, at the White Swan hotel ... Technical trouble with the computer here is preventing upload of any pictures, but we haven't many pictures anyway following a day of travel.

Ellie, I'm sorry to have to report, is not feeling well. She has been struggling with teething all week -- molars -- and now she's developed an infection in her throat. She was running a pretty high fever, and having shivering fits. So we've seen a doctor here, and she is on antibiotics, Tylenol and vitamins. She's still in pretty good spirits, although I think a bit confused at having moved to yet another different place, and of course very tired. Apart from refusing to wear a seatbelt she did well on the flight from Nanchang. She seems to like the new hotel room but doesn't like her "new" crib.

Tomorrow is another "rest" day. There is a tour of Guangzhou scheduled, but depending on how Ellie feels we may simply hang around near the hotel.

Awww...so sorry to hear the Ellie is not feeling well. Hopefully the antibiotic will kick in very quickly.

Sending lots of hugs...
Love,

PS Marcus will be heading to Taiwan for a week just as you are returning home.

It has been wonderful to hear of your adventures so far. Obstinacy must accompany the name, as our Eleanor also is a handful at times. Ellie is adorable and I feel as if we've already been introduced. Hope your return journey is free of any more illness or problems!
