Tuesday 26th - day 6
Suzhou - Beijing
Even with leaving a hour and half before the trains due, we end up waiting ages for a bus and when we arrive at the train station, we are knocked back from the waiting room and directed to the train platform.. To get to another station!!! Apparently suzhou North is where we should have been. There's no way in hell we are making our train now, and we can only imagine the palava when we arrive to sort another train out - if there is even another one that day.
We are fuming the whole journey.
When we arrive, I explain the woman who sold us the tickets did not tell us it was north station, hence missing the train. It takes her about 20 seconds to scan our old tickets and issue another ticket for the next train in 2 hours time.. No cost.. No problem.. We couldn't believe it!!
Catch the train around 2ish and arrive at Beijing 9ish. Metro to the hostel.. We spend a good hour looking for the hostel which turns out to be right down an alleyway, opposite a building site..
