6th April – Beijing to Xian

So today was our first sleeper train. As they always left lateish at night and check out is always 12pm you always have this time to kill, annoyingly. And not fab when you're not feeling 100%(den). So we went back to the funky hutong area and drank lots of coffee, tea and hot chocolate til it was time to mish back to grab our bags and go to the station.
Sleeper trains here are pretty good, cleaner than the indian trains, but since they're all bloody chimmneys here there was a smoking section...in the part between cars...and we were in the 1st cabin so spent a good 20 mins once i was in bed cursing smokers with my head under the duvet. But was actaully pretty comfortable, and there is a bottom sheet all tucked in in and a duvet which is great for me cos i used to get all tangled up in the indian blankets and loose sheets. Didn;t sleep great but no real reason...seems the chinese (despite the smoking) aren't really big snorers so one less thing to annoy me :)

Duvets are pretty comfortable, and there is a bottom sheet all tucked in and a duvet which is great because it gets all tangled up in the blankets and loose sheets. You can get more information about duvet which I browsed from the internet may fetch you help.
