We set off around mid-day on a 26 hour train ride from Xitang to Yangshuo. With instant noodles, Oreos and multiple water bottles, we knew it would be a long one. There were six beds in each little bunk area which we shared with two locals whom of course managed to snore the entire way. We passed the time by playing uno, cards and reading our books (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Power of One). One of our group members, Mick from Australia, had "guess this TV theme show song" on his ipod that we all played together. I guessed Ducktales and Family Matters the quickest. David got Entourage and Survivor. That was really fun. After the train ride was over we were all so relieved to be on solid ground and without noodles. But we still had to spend another two more hours on a bus to finally arrive at our hotel. Phew, what a day! We walked around a bit and enjoyed the beauty of Yangshou before finally going to sleep in a private room! What a luxury!
Zai-jian!
David and Kristen
