Monday 8th September - day 19
Chengdu
We realise that we can't go to the pandas today as they are most active first thing in the morning and it's now 11. We also realise that we can't go to the mineral pools up in jiuzhai gou. As it's too far for a 1 or 2 day trip and we can't fit it in now with booking our trains. So we take a walk down to the main square tfanu, get something to eat and plan the rest of our trip in chengdu. It's dumpling party and moon cake party tonight at the hostel as it's mid autumn festival. We only sign up to the dumpling one as we again, try a moon cake, and it's horrible. Even an apparently strawberry one tastes like beans. And that thing we thought was a egg centre, is indeed a boiled egg yolk.
We again can make the dumplings and get to eat the lot, and 4 platefuls later, free fruit, nuts, sweets, moon cakes and even a free beer - we've made the most of it.
I am forced into a another moon cake, which is apparently honey, it's ok, but definitely still weirdly unsweet. We stay up talking to a Swedish couple and a girl from Iran.
