Day Twenty-Six Lazy Time & Trip to the Market Oh my golly gosh, 12.30pm & I couldn't get out of bed. Every part ached from head to toe & I seriously couldn't sit down. My bum was battered & bruised & every time I moved oh the pain (I blame Andy's adventurous attitude)! I will not be getting on a bike for a very very long time, possibly never again the way I'm was feeling. I threw some clothes on & got ready in 2 minutes flat, we needed ...

Day Twenty-Five Countryside Bike Ride through Yangshuo Early rise today I was up at 6.30am so I could skype the family. Andy finally raised he lazy bones & we went for breakfast.

With the bikes rented we set off on our long ride following the map the hostel provided. The roads in China are crazy ...

Day Twenty-Three On the train again heading for Yangshuo A lazy start to the day. I had woke up to the feel of Andy's hand rocking my back. The swine I could have easily fitted in a few more hours although I did manage 12 hours already. It was only 10am time to get up & attempt the toilet - I think I would have rather stayed in bed. The extremely small narrow train beds are surprisingly comfortable. Breakfast on the go we had cucumbers, bananas, kiwis &...

Day Twenty-Two 26 Hour Train ride from Chengdu to Guilin I had a lovely lie in & the best nights sleep yet in Chengdu & I could have easily slept for a few more hours but packing had to be done as we were due to leave the Mix Hostel today & get ready for our train journey to Guilin. We both had lovely showers to make sure we were clean as our next wash won't be for a couple of days. We packed our rucksacks & headed down to the reception to sor...
