Arrived in Beijing for the China Olympics
July 31, 2008
Yesterday was a long day. My family and I were up at 3.00am Australian time to head to drive from Canberra to Sydney to catch our flight to Beijing. Close to 24 hours later we were in Beijing and ready for bed.
On our Qantas flight to Beijing there were about 30 Australian Olympic team members. This included athletes competing in the games and support staff. The majority of the athletes comprised of the Australian kayak team.
The Beijing airport terminal 3 was pretty impressive. It is huge and is the best looking terminal I have seen.
After getting out of the terminal we jumped on a shuttle bus and headed into Beijing. Light rain was falling as we took the close to 30 minute ride to our accommodation.
Now it is the next morning I have seen for myself what the air quality is like. There sure was not any blue sky however this was more to do with the rain in the area. I will be looking forward to see how things are as the clouds clear.
Later today I will be heading out to some Olympic venues here in Beijing.
