After the cruise, Trevor had to return to work straight away, but Shanhong still had three weeks of holiday. She went back to Dalian to spend some time with her parents and ended up with her nephew as well – not quite the plan!  So, not the best of trips – but she did manage a lovely ‘girl’s weekend’ with her mum on a nearby island leaving the men at home. A highlight for me though was pics of her dad making friends with some little red pandas at Dalian Zoo.
