Trains and Kunming

sunny 27 °C
View Alex and Rob's South East Asia trip 2009 on robbiet239's travel map.

After leaving Felix's house at 7.30on Friday morning we caught a 2 hour inter city train to Guangzhou. After an anxios hour in Guangzhou east station trying to find our courier we we secured our tickets for the next leg to Kunming.after taking a taxi across the city to the main station which we discovered had all information in Mandarin characters. Having followed a crowd of people we ended up on the train which was our home for the next 25 hours. Conditions weren't too bad with us on middle bunks that seemed to be exactly the same length as me.

Today we went and explored Kunming going to visit a temple and wandering around the streets of the city. Tomorrow our trip starts with a 9 hour bus ride to Lijiang.
