We managed to make our train to Pingyao this time, so we arrived yesterday morning at about 7:30am. When we arrived at the hostel we were told that our rooms were not ready yet!!! in fact there was still people sleeping in our beds!!! so we managed to get one room between four. We ended up sleeping four in a bed for about 4 hours until we were giving our own room. Pingyao is a very nice village which is pretty much unchanged for many years. Very nice!!!, but nobody speaks English!!
We went out last night for a meal with our friends from London and it was probably the best chinese food I have ever had! Towards the end of our meal some chinese guys came and sat at our table and had many drinks with us. They told us that they were english students.......We thought that it was going to be a scam!!!, but it turned out that they were genuine and they paid for everything!!!! So bonus!!! I dont think they see many Western people in Pingyao, so I guess they like practising there english.
We are going to get our train tickets in a wee bit to Xian. It is going to be another 12 hour journey, but this time we will defo be getting a hard sleeper (bed), as the last trip was hell!!!!
I was going to upload some photos from Pingyao, but we will probably take more today, so check tomorrow and there will be more.
Catcha 2moro!!!!!
