WARNING – my loves – there’s going to be some swearing in this post.  Lots and lots of it in fact.  There’s going to be some ranting and raving, a bit of self pity (I’m throwing a pity party actually) and did I mention a whole truckload of F’s bombs will be dropping.  I usually just skirt around the edges of being foul mouthed on the blog but today, well today I’m diving right into the ocean of mcsweary and generally leaving my ladylike manners at the door – so brace yourselves!!!

Up nice and early for breakfast with a sinking feeling that I’m starting to get sick.  At this stage it just feels a little like a cold so fingers crossed it moves the hell on quickly.

This morning we took a quick metro ride over the the French Concession Area of Shanghai.  This area was for many years designated for the French and is still now very popular for tourists and expats.  Perfect for a leisurely stroll around – filled with lots of lovely cafes and tree lined streets.

Today was a big day of sightseeing.  We started the morning waiting for our private guide and driver to pick us up.  They were late.  If you know anything about me at all – it’s that I’m a total time NAZI!!!!  I’m standing outside the hotel thinking “oh man it’s gonna be on like Donkey Kong when this guy gets here”.  I wrote a mental list of all the tongue lashing goodness I was going to unleash on this guy when he pulled up.  It was a list that would make any grown man fall to his knees sobbing for my Queenly forgiveness.  This was going to be epic…..

Well now that we are finally on our own running wild and loose in China we did what every teenager does when the parents are gone – we slept in!!!!  Hahahaha yep we were exhausted and needed an extra long horizontal life pause before heading out to start to the day.
