Sleeper train to Xi'an
This was our first real travelling part of our travelling in China.
As you can see from the photo the carriage is open plan with sets of 6 bunks. The only one that you can sit on is the bottom one, plus there are chairs along the edge. Chris & I mostly sat at the edge so that we could play poker with some other people who were next door to us.
Playing poker on the train, using pistachio shells for chips, helped to make the 16 hours to Xi'an go quite fast.
Sleeping on the train was tricky, but we know what to expect when we travel to Shanghai in a couple of days.
We've arrived in Xi'n now and will blog again about that soon.
PS. The girl in the photo is our guide, Qiming.

I hope the Ingrish lessons we had from the Dragon Dwarves at the Gathering are coming in useful.
Looks like your having a whale of a time.
Hi guys, hope you'll continue to have a great and adventurous time. Had a quick look at your pictures so far and it looks like that won't be a problem!
We're back from our honeymoon in Turkey and now and pretty beat. Back to the daily grind of programming PHP and tying up women again! ;)
P.S. Pics from the wedding and the holiday should be up within a couple of days.
Wherever you go there'll be poker!!! but no chicken...?
Incredible photos, I can see some artwork for our house emerging!! Take care,
