Friday 21st Sept After we left the hotel, we decided to get the bus to Downtown instead of using a cab. Unfortunately we got confused on how the bus service system works so we decided to flag the cab down to take us straight to the station after wasting a hour of waiting for the bus! We were only in Austin for the day so we tried to make the most of it while we were there. Once we arrived to the station, the baggage were not allowed to be left while we can b...

Thursday 20th Sept We prepared for our next train to Austin which was at 12.20pm. We learnt that the Amtrak train service are not very reliable! The train arrived at Austin at 10.45pm which was 3.5 hours late than expected! We were too tired to look for our hotel so we decided to get the yellow cab which was waiting outside the station. It was our first time to use the cab while we are in USA! We can say that using the cab is better and fast than using the tra...

Wednesday 19th Sept We went to Fort Worth, hoping to experience the cowboy culture. Once we arrived, we wanted to go straight to the Stockyard.

Tuesday 18th Sept Got up late unfortunately as our beds weren't comfortable so we didn't sleep well. But then again, we were running late anyway because we need to book the hostel for our next stop which is Austin. So we arrived to the city of Dallas just after midday, went straight to the train station to book our next train to Austin on Thursday. Also we pre-booked our tickets to Tuscon on 22nd to visit a friend for a couple of nights. We went to Reunion Tow...

September 17th Monday Since last Sunday afternoon, Adaire and Joshua took us to the train station for our next stop in Dallas. Unfortunately we couldn't wave off once we boarded the train cos it was full and we struggled to find the seats together. Luckily the staff managed to shift one guy to sit elsewhere with someone else so Daniel and I could sit together for the next 22 hours journey. We would like to say a huge thanks to Adaire and Joshua, oh and not for...
