After breakfast we managed to squeeze in a couple of hours checking out the city of Hong Kong before piling (literally) onto a minibus with our suitcases for the 40min drive to the airport.
The airport security following the Malaysian Airlines flight mystery has been very tight, so it took us a while to get through immigration and security and make our way to the gate for a final group debrief of the trip.
The things we have learnt and the customers we have met have expanded our understanding of our industry and the enormity and importance of what happens to our grain when it leaves our shores bound for markets in desperate need of food security.
Our insights and experiences will be at the forefront of conversation over the next few months - so if you know any of us who were lucky enough to join the trip we look forward to sharing it with you. We will also try not to bore you with some of the thousands of photos taken along the way!
We have made some amazing new friends, not just in the group, but Ted and the team from Zennoh as well as Wallace in China and the Interflour Vietnam team who we will never forget. Thank you to everyone we have met for your hospitality and we hope to return the favor when you visit Perth one day.
The close friendships formed within our group will also live on - with reunions already being planned for locations around the State.
No doubt we will reflect on this trip constantly over the next few weeks, so will continue to update the blog should anything come to mind.
Thanks to CBH Group for allowing us to participate and learn, we are so grateful for the opportunity - and to our readers for following our trip on this blog!
