So I think it's fair to say I have done my quota of sleeper trains in the last three weeks. As if to prove a point at how lucky us British lot are the train took 16 hours to arrive instead of the 13 it was due to take. However, who even cares when you are about to cross the border into Hong Kong!! So nothing else could go wrong because it's the last day of the trip. HA. obviously not because this is me and when does it ever go to plan? Soooo, I get out of mainl...

LAST DAY IN CHINA. well mainland anyway! It's weird because even though this trip doesn't finish until Thursday because I am staying a few extra days without the group it feels like a separate trip in a completely different place! Didn't do alot today though.. Found somewhere that did a sort of English breakfast which was edible but nowhere near up to scratch! Filled a hole, however still no god damn cheese!!! All I want is a cheese bagel. Why is this apparentl...

Today was probably one of the funniest days I have had in the last 15? I don't been even know how long I have been away?! So yeah, we were going on a bike ride! Which I was so excited for! I'd been craving exercise for a few days, don't know why?! so this was perfect!

So we got our bikes, I had the cutest litt...

There are no road markings. No traffic lights. They are awfully fond of using their horns here. Do China have a Highway Code? Because if they do, no one follows it. Ever. It took me three times to pass my driving test. Here I think they just buy a car and hope for the best. They are all crazy fools when they drive. I think I'm going to check my insurance policy before we get in their buses from now on because I feel like I may need to claim before I leave this co...

All I have done today is travel. Just not in the way I wanted. We get off the boat at 7am and take a bus for 2 hours into the main town to get supplies for the fourth sleeper train. We found a McDonald's with every intention of just abusing the free wifi instead buying food and not getting any wifi. Still a successful stop off! We then leave for a bullet train that will then take us to the sleeper train. So excited by the bullet train. It is genuinely shaped like...
