Trekkin’

Our alarm clock went off at the crack of seven in the a.m. only after four hours of sleep!!  We rolled out of bed and hit the central train station to catch a ride to Guilin!!  It was ten and a half hours!!  When buying the ticket we tried to get a soft sleeper?…nope, hard sleeper?…nope, soft seat?…nope, hard seat?…yes!!  At least it wasn’t a standing ticket!!

After an arduous nine hours of sitting, Kinsey needed to stretch her legs and flex her gluteus maximus muscles.  Bad life choice!  This spawned an outright attack from all of the Chinese people in our car!  Lights started to flash, people started to dash as everyone whipped out their cameras!!  Soon Kinsey was being photographed left and right.  A line started to form and everyone had to have his or her turn!!  Next they turned on Chelsea and finally asked if we would pose together!!  It looked like a swarm of paparazzi as we stood there being blinded by the light!!!

Not a bad way to end the ten-hour train ride… feeling like celebs!!

Finally Lady Luck was on our side and the bus to Yangshuo was right outside the station!!  We hopped on and arrived in two hours!!  The rest is History!!
