Trapped by tropical Typhoon
Due to current events, I'm abandoning the chronological order of my trip reports. You have probably read about the floods currently in China.We are currently in Haikou on Hainan Island in the south of China. Our plan was to take the ferry to Guangzhou today but all ferry services are cancelled due to the Typhoon Haima. You can follow its way on this japanese webpage.
So we are trapped and our Hotel will have us as guests some days more.
Sidenote: I had hoped to get informed about such dangers by the travelling information from the foreign ministry of Germany. But it doesn't even mention the Typhoon and Flood at all. The UK information was a bit more helpful.
Update: We've long left the typhoon area and nothing happened to us, I just didn't have the time to complete further blog entries.
