monday 22nd september - day 32 - guilin to nanning
9am train to nanning, breakfast of buiscuits and 6 hours of being stared at like animals in a zoo - and we arrive in nanning by 3pm. number 33 bus to the hostel - its an absolute dive - the 3 Ds, dark, dingy, dirty. The guy on reception speaks hardly any english. The beds are not ready in the room so we end up making them and its occupied by just asian guys. it smells stale, there are no windows, floor is filthy, under the bed is full of crap, it hasnt even been brushed in a while. cigarette ends all over the floor,bin is overflowing.
i make a point of going and getting a brush to clean it a little. We ask st reception about detian falls and hes not got much of a clue so he directs us up the road to another hotel where we can apparently book tickets. its a travel booking office so we get our hongkong sleepers (a day earlier than planned -no point in in hanging around the hostel waiting to catch.something) and.our bus tickets to detian for tomorrow which are 90rmb.
we eat a decent cheap meal around the corner from the hostel, i get duck,rice and veggies for 10rmb! we see a guy running across the road with a live chicken unde his arm..at least the foods fresh.
a sneaky cake later and we go back to the hostel to book some flights for india.
The bathrooms are literally cubicles in the corridor.. so we are treated to the sounds of farting and pooing whilst in the comfort of our own beds..fab.
