We've left Yangshou now and are waiting in Nanning to take the overnight train to Hanoi. Pretty sad to leave Yangshou, but well looking forward to Vietnam now. Caving turned out to be HILARIOUS. We'd been given brochures on it and all the pictures advertise people in swimming stuff in mud baths and hot springs, so it looked pretty cool. On arrival we excitedly stripped down to our swimming stuff and got in the boat. The guide said nothing to us apart from when ...

Right where did I leave it, oh yeh Willsy got pretty sick so we missed going to the mountains. Next disaster! We missed our bloody train. We were going from Xi'an to Nanjing and then onto Shanghai and we stupidly got on the bus on the wrong side of the street and ended up in the middle of nowhere at the bus depot instead of the train station. I was sooo annoyed because I was very ready to leave Xi'an as there's not much there except the Terracotta Army and we end...

Chinese buses are CRAZY, they only cost 10p for a 45 minute journey and as soon as you get on the doors are almost shut on you and the driver has slammed his foot down so everyone goes flying and no-one...

Bit more structured this time: Day 1: Tienemen Square - Crazy amount of security, police everywhere and your bags have to go through metal detectors. Lets be honest who's going to blow up a open piece of floor. Not much to blow up. Day 2: Summer Palace - Got a bit lost on the way so got to check out suburban China too. Average. - Summer palace is massive and not really what I was expecting a palace to be. Its more of an extensive garden with chinese building...
