Shanghai - Hangzhou - Kuala Lumpur - Bali


Holiday!! Stefan wanted to have a beach holiday while in Shanghai and I happened to find pretty good tickets with Air Asia. Today we have been a looooong 20 hour on our way passing 3 cities and many customs.

The first stop was Shanghai - Hangzhou since the airport which Air Asia uses is there. The reason why you fly from Hangzhou and not Shanghai is the price. Hangzhou is about 300 km from Shanghai but it's really fast and convenient to get there with the bullet train that does about 350km/h. Only took us 50 minutes to arrive from Shanghai to Hangzhou.
Last time I was in Hangzhou was in 2007 with Peiffin and Koli, was a great trip btw. We went on a boat ride in the famous "West Lake" which for all Chinese is a romantic place because there are so many love stories behind it.

Took a drink at House 79, small strange place
Chinese made car, Nixon has been in it back in the days! Hangzhou airport
From Hangzhou we flew to Kuala Lumpur where we had to wait 5 hours and then take the plane to Bali - Kuta. But finally in Bali! It's 32 degrees warm and sunshine! This will be awesome!
