Feedback from Harry:
Dear Alice,
We like to thank you for your help with the passport and the exit visum.
Everything went well at the border. Now we are in Nong Khiaw a nice place along the river in Laos. We take our rest.
Traveling in China was heavy because of the schedule and the traffic, especially in the cities. Nevertheless we liked the trip very much. Yan was a good guide and a nice person. Traveling with her was a pleasant experience.
Regards,
Harry and Marleen
