We woke up at 11am, grabbed some breakfast. We both got the American breakfast (I think that was the name) which consisted of eggs, toast, tomatoes, sausage and a strip of bacon. I opted for some much needed coffee while Sidsel went with orange juice. After breakfast we grabbed our stuff and walked down to the busstop to try and grab a bus to Yangshuo. This was.....exciting. Since barely anything was in English we tried to go ask at the customer service counter. Haha joke on us thinking they would speak English. She did point in the direction of a set of busses though and we went over there and found that YES those busses were indeed going to Yangshuo. We hopped aboard and payed our fare of 18RMB a piece, about $3.
Now in retrospect we both agreed that we should have gone ahead and done the cruise down the Li River to Yangshuo. What happened though is we weren't aware we could do the whole route and we had already planned on the bus and felt more comfortable sticking with that route. It would have been nice to go ahead and go the cruise the first day and have time to do other things our last day but c'est la vie. Anyways...
The bus was fine. It was a bus. Got into Yangshuo and our adventure really began. We took this "taxi" to our hostel, but it was the funniest/strangest ride ever. It's hard to explain in words so here is a video. Yes I know the video is sideways, but my stupid butt forgot you can't turn a camera sideways. ahhhhh well.
That's all for now! Off to my last presentation. Wish me luck!
