Chinese Dreams

---

The Train from Mongolia to China was nicer than the previous one, shame the journey was only 30 hours almost! Laura Ashley (circa 1960) cabins, piped in Chinese radio, toilets with hand cream, free meals and slippers! And the restaurant cart! A mobile mini-hunting lodge, complete with gilded stag heads and wrought iron drinks holders! There is nothing quite like eating breakfast and watching the Gobi desert go by. I thought the huge great sand dunes we'd seen on our entrance to Mongolia had been the edges of the Gobi but I think I was wrong, unless this was the same desert, endless flat gold, hot, dry, populated by eagles and the odd Hyundai. So we went to bed in desert and woke up to Mountains, and we were finally in China.
