Hey, Is our last day in Chengdu before we leave on another overnight train to Kunming, further south. We went to see a panda reserve yesterday, they were so cute although smaller than I'd expected. The babies pandas are also red with long tails and look more like racoons. We spent about 2hours there taking loads of photos. Walked round the city on Tuesday (it only takes about a day to see pretty much all the major sites) and sat in a real Teahouse drinkin...

Have now been through Xian and seen the famous Terracotta aramy. Very impressive, hundreds of really detailed life like figures and horses. There wasn't much else to see in Xian so we left after a 2 days and came by over night train to Chengdu. We were on a hard sleeper with six bunks to a set and we were on the top (slightly scared I'd fall out in the night but luckily I didn't) The train then arrived half and hour early (maybe some tips for british rail)
