Passports found

Yesterday was spent sitting in the main Post Office in Vancouver trying to recover our lost passports.Basically Canada Post could not say where they were even though the package from Travcour was registered and we had a tracking number! It would seem that although you pay extra for this service all mail is put together and they have a weird or non existent tracking system. We spent 4 hours patiently waiting only to be told that they could not find it anywhere. We camehome feeling very despondent and wondering how we were going to get to Bejing. WE thought of going via London on British passports and picking up a China visa there . We had already invited some very close friends who had helped us with the car for dinner so we went ahead and just after the last guest left we received a call at 11-30pm. To say they had found the passports .!! Rather that trust them to a courier Lloyd flew back to Vancouver and picked them up! This I am sure will be the first of many trials in the upcoming weeks.
