Today was a lot cooler at 25 degrees C and it was very overcast. I left early as I wanted to go to the waterfall park before I left for the airport but as I got in a taxi and said where I wanted to go the taxi driver said it would take 45 minutes to get there and cost 300 Hong Kong dollars! I opted for the jade market instead which was only 5 minutes away. I bought a few souvenirs and then wandered round the streets just taking it all in and then recognised one of the streets and could find my way back to near the hotel. I stopped for lunch at a small bakery and then discovered a short cut back to my hostel so I could check out.
I got the shuttle bus to the airport and my flight was on time and 90 minutes later I landed in Guilin at 8.15pm. I had arranged for an airport pick up and because of heavy traffic it took 40 minutes to get to the hostel. The backstreet youth hostel of Guilin was a big step up from the hostel in Hong Kong, for starters there is a cafe and communal area to chat to other tourists and the room is much nicer. The bed is massive and I can actually move around in the bathroom! I’m very excited about my adventures in Guilin, but I must get some sleep as it’s an early start tomorrow!
