Xingang Port 2
There are many tour guides holding the signs with the names of the people they are going to meet. It is quite interesting to see the signs in different size and color. Below are the two pictures of our tour guides - Ms Sabrina Ms Roseanne:
Soon we get a word that at 10:00am, the first group of passengers will disembark the ship. It is learned that the disembarkment is set according to their numbers of cabins. Usually the disembarkment takes 2-3 hours. I don't think the pickup is well organised. The exit gate is too small for so many passengers coming from such a huge ship. It is impossible for all tour guides to wait in front of the gate. So the tour guides have to wait for their people along the narrow corridor before the gate!
The lucky passengers find their tour guides and follow them to the baggage claim area. There are so many pieces of luggage lying on the ground that we are a little afraid that people might get their luggage wrongly. Hope everything will be ok!
I easily find Mr. and Mrs. Hammer among the crowd. They have 6 pieces of luggage! I call Mr. Liu, our driver to help me take the luggage.
On the way to Beijing, we have a nice talk. They are every much excited about the 15-day cruise trip just passed and expect visiting Beijing. It is late autumn. On the route, we still catch the last color of the fall foliage. They stay at Marriot Great Wall, a deluxe 5 star hotel in Beijing. They are happy with their private transfer.
