Today Cameron and I were up early to catch the plane to Xi'an. We were both feeling tired and lack of breakfast food did not help!! The congee on the plane just didn't cut it : ( (think rice gruel -ugh)
We managed to get a bus down town and soon located our hostel down a busy narrow side street. The hostel is extremely nice and has lots of information on tours, a cafe, roof top views and pool room.
After a bit of comfort food at Pizza hut we rented bikes and rode on the old city walls -very picturesque as you could look down on the town. Despite the 35 plus degree heat we managed to do all 14 km -it was great fun.
In the evening we ventured out to find somewhere for dinner. This is quite a challenge as often the menu is only in Chinese characters - we have to look for somewhere that has translation and preferably pictures too! We found somewhere that was very busy - always a good sign and ordered chicken kung pao, aubergine and lotus dish -very good!
