so beginning of week 10.
After the trek we headed back to Shangri-la was going to try and get to Kunming however the bus journey back took too long so stayed at the same hostel.
So we got up early and climbed back over the mountain and back out of the villiage.
When we got to the bottom we found a monk that was going to drive us back to deqin city where we would get the bus to Shangri-la. However he was driving so slow, that if he drove any slower he would have driven backwards.
Then he began praying and driving even slower, so a hour and half drive turned into nearly two hours. Eventually got to the bus station in Deqin city. Only to find that there was no more buses to Shangri-la so we got a minibus for 80 yuan (£8) for a five and half hours.
We ended up picking up two people on the way. So a 7 seater turned in a 8 seater and Debbie and i were sqaushed onto a three seat with four people. What great fun that was.
But we got to the hostel and met up with the Dutch lads, Frank and Nick and just chilled.
The next day we went and got our tickets for Shangri-la, a 12 hour night bus.
The bus was awful smaller than the last one i had been on and it was full.
We stopped a couple of times and i used the toiet, OMG it was awful. A sqautter i am use to. But women having a number two nearly made me gagg. I have nearly got out of a toilet so quickly.
Wasnt the best journey as so many bumping roads, but made it back. The lads were travelling on a separate bus that left 20 mins later but we all arrived at the same time to Kunming.
