GUILIN 25 Oct. Tuesday

Tuesday evening 25 Oct


We are tired tonight.  Some of our group went for a vigorous uphill walk this am after breakfast, but the rest of us opted to stay at the hotel and organize our bulging luggage.  Left Lijiang at 11:30 to go to the airport, which went smoothly, but Bryant and I had to organize  picking up baggage in Kunming and checking in again, going thru security again, and finding our gate before flying to Guilin, where we are now.  We did it all....checking in the group, getting boarding passes, arguing with an attendant who wanted to send us to another counter, but B. persisted and refused to do so.  Arrived in Guilin around 7:45, about 25 min. later than scheduled, but our young guide, Ocean, was there to meet us.  We are now "Ocean's  Eleven" as we are a group of 11.  He is so cute......young and good looking, with a good sense of humour and good colloquial expressions.....as in, (once we got our bags loaded onto the bus) "lets haul ass!"  I think we'll enjoy him.

More tomorrow from Yangshuo.
