John Holmes Knocking at My Back Door
Monday, August 07, 2006
Songpan, China
Hey Hey and G'day to you all,
Today has been a NOTHING DAY.
It was a day spent on over priced internet getting up to date with my Travelpod and allowing my butt and body to recover from horse riding. Seriously mate, my butt was so saddle sore at the end of the second day it felt like John Holmes had been knocking at my back door!
Happily he wasn't and I'm feeling much more refreshed after a huge nights sleep last night. Now it is time to go and fetch my washing from Emmas Cafe, book our tickets on tomorrow mornings empty tour coach, pack and after a hearty meal and a few beers sleep for the last night in wonderful Songpan.
Next we are heading to Langmusi in Gansu.
There are no buses that cross the province border and luckily for us Emmas knows of a Tour Coach that comes through Songpan full and returns from Chengdu empty so the driver is always happy to make a few Yuan by filling as many empty seats as possible.
This is the beauty of travelling in China.
There is always an empty seat somewhere that someone knows of!
Beers N Noodles to you all...shane
