overnight trains are something of an experience in China....catching one from Hong Kong to Guilin in China with our tour group - 4 intrepid travellers from britain and our chinese tour guide, Frank - we settled in for the night on our hard sleepers....'hard' being the operative word....! apart from being awake most of the night our sleep was good and we arrived in Guilin ready to explore china....only to find it was freezing and pouring rain....and it hasn't stopped.
We are in a little town called Yangshuo...a teeny tiny town at the base of towering, mist covered limestone mountains. Set on the shore of the Li river it is a picturesque tourist trap but, with the rain, we have actually spent more time in bed and in cafes drinking 2 for 1 cocktails than exploring. This afternoon, however, we are exploring rain, hail or shine, cruising down the river before going to a water and light show designed by the same dude who organised the olympic opening ceremony....should be a sight to behold!!
Stay tuned xx
