Woke up a bit late after a few too many drinks the night before and showered and sorted my life out a bit while drew had his class. we went for a chinese fast food breakfast/lunch and then i jumped on the bus to hungzhou, got there with plenty of time to spare so had a relaxed wander towards the station to catch the bus to the next town.
I saw that they are draining every river and stream in the town, cleaning and fortifying it and then filling it again! at an amazing pace! and considering how longs its taken to do englands canals....
On the bus to the next town (1hr, 40p) where I can catch the night train (which I found eventually!) I realised the ticket I had bought so carefully ahead of time in a rush just before the office closed was for the day I bought it, not for tonight! So I missed my train by three days!! god damnit! always check your ticket! especially when crossing languages!
Anyway I got the bus straight back to hungzhou and back to my favorite little hostel and have booked one night here, in the morning I will go to the station and try and get a train for tomorrow night, or the night after, to guilin, and if they don't have any will head to Xian early to meet Dave (hopefully).
The plan would then be to move everything forward, hit Biejing early then have a few days in Nanjing near the end which is only 2 hours from shanghai and moves the long distance travel further away from when I fly out, but we will see! haha plans are meant to change, and at least it was only 30ish. C'est la vie!
Met a nice guy on the bus across town who has just finished his masters and we swapped details, I wish I had some business cards! you meet so many people and i had to rush down his email as he got off the bus, a really nice guy!
More tomorrow when I have a plan! haha!
