Our sleeper train here was brill, the soft sleeper beds were better than most of Rich's hostels in Thailand! We had a free pick-up to our hostel where we met Lauren (American) and Rich (Manc) little did we know we'd end up traveling with them for the next week. This hostel was 'hutong' style and we had our own private room with the biggest shower in China…all for just 12pounds a night! That night we had a thorough tasting of ALL the local beers…and vodkas. Inevitably this ended up in a slow morning (Esp for Shelly!) A good cure was to hire bikes in the pouring rain and cycle the whole of X'ian inside the city walls. A brilliant day of visiting the Muslim quarter, drum tower, bell tower and plenty of eateries! Best dumplings so far!
An early start once again for a visits to the terracotta warriors! After being slightly disappointed with the empty pit 2 (Barr a few broken terracotta limbs) we were then in absolute awe at the few thousand warriors lined up in front of us in pit 1!
Next stop Chengdu!
