BACK TO CHENGDU

Again "fresh" and early start and 8 hour journey to Chengdu. Straight to the Train Station to get tickets to Kunming, queue like hell and mainly at the foreigners window, well and as me Romi is know for her patience, I thought to myself hell no, tickets needed now, phrase book behind my belt mission: "try to bypass the security guards" that let only Chinese people in the main hall. And as every agent needs a little helper, Reni - fitted the profile so she got stopped and I have managed to squeeze through... and tickets in two days that is result.
Thanks god for hot shower in our hostel, we finally smelled like people not horses and next step was laundry day and relax.... and bit of shopping. We have also gave in trying to eat only Asian food and had our first "Western lunch", after three days of eating food fried on yack's fat it was well deserved..

NEXT DAY

This day we just took really easy and I Romi spend all day in hostel next to the fire and chatted with other travelers, and Me Reni when for bit of shoping mainly to buy new boots as the old once after 5 years gave in.


ZPET DO CHENGDU

Znovu cerstve ranni vstavani a 8 hodin v autobuse do Chengdu. Honem na vlakac, sehnat listky do Kunmingu, fronty jak na banany a nejvetsi u okynka pro cizince. A jak jsem ja, Romca znama svoji trpelivosti, pomyslela jsem si "nehrozi", listky potrebujeme hned, frazovou knizku jsem mela "za pasem " a mise " snaha se dostat pres ohranku" muze zacit. A tak jako kazdy agent i ja jsme potrebovala maleho pomocnika, a Renca zplnovala kryteria, no a tak ji zastavili a ja jsme se propasovala do haly, kde pousteli pouze domorodce. ... a listky za dva dny do Kunminu byl skvely vysledek.
Diky bohu za horkou sprchu v nasem hostelu, konecne jsme se citili jako lidi a ne kone a po te prani hader... a relax... a trousku nakupovani. Take jsme to po trech dnech smazeneho jidla na bicim tuku vzdaly a daly si neco "normalniho"...

DALSI DEN

Ten to den jsme se rozhodly nic moc nedelat a odpocinout si, Ja Romca jsem cely den stravila v hostelu u ohinka a kecanim z dalsimi cestovately a Ja Renca jsme sla na nakup, hlavne pro nove boty, protoze moje se po peti letech se rozpadly.
