Where to start!! i have had the most amazing journey so far,last night i departed from the tour group i was with made 3 really good friends liisa, amy and kirsty sad to go but finding my way from hong kong to patong,phuket was soo exciting,
best bits so far,
I had three night's on my own and i discovered (see pic) these gardens the most tranquil place i have ever been needless to say i spent alot of time here reading and writting and listening to Noah and the whale 'the first days of spring' (my china theme tune!) the gardens are just outside of the forbidden city and i will never forget them.
The great wall! it really is huuuuuuge so many steps to climb it! but a breathtaking experience this has to be my favourite so far!
We then moved onto xi'an which wasnt hugely exciting! did have a really nice evening meal and drinks and the next day we saw the terractotta warriors! and i bought some little warriors which a really weighing my bag down! they were incredible and only discovered in 1974??? insane!
Shanghai was a real highlight it was so green and clean....something we had been missing the view of the city from the bund was amazing! sooo many lights.
The cruise down the yangzee river what me a liisa have called part 2 of china ...amazing the boat was so nice aswell, we went through the three gorge's and they blew me away we got off onto a 4 hour coach to the 16 hour night train! and arrived in yangshou,guillin it was like a little seaside town set within hundreds of kirsk mountains from where is used to be under the sea, it was like a chinese newquay! so many more people spoke english and was just full of amazing tiny bars and yummy restaurants.
20km bike ride around the beautifull town and experiencing rural life and a slow bamboo raft down the river Li.
Then onto hong kong where we departed.
Also sleeper trains!!! such an experience had such good laughs on them despite the ''toilets'' and peeing children there really quite fun!!
Now onto part two of my trip on phuket island :)
