21st April – Guilin – Yangshuo

Arrive Guilin about 12 so had a super nice sleep in and feeling pretty good! Some locals help us onto the city bus and a nice lady shows us the bus station. Its weird, sometimes they are SOO nice and helpful...real extremities. Anyways on the bus which was easy cos i slept most of the way...i never really sleep well on those trains....no idea why!
Yangshuo is surrounded by tall karst hill/rock/mound things which is really why we're visiting. Have a hostel in the tourist part...basically there is a western tourist part (complete with dodgy old americans finding local younger “girlfriends” YUCK) and a chinese tourist part, so we decided to avoid the chinese tour group and their walkie talkies and umbrellas and head for hamburger town! Nice lil place, only a few cobbled streets for us to get lost in, but lots of western food and we eye it up..only then i go have beef fried noodle...hard to break habits! quite a few touts here but nothing compared to India and we find it pretty easy really! have an easy afternoon chilling and wandering around. nice place, i like it here! strange to see so many white folk again!
