Back to base!

This easter mainland trip is about to end. After a week of touring a bit around the Yunnan province, we are back to the starting point, Kunming. Sitting at the good and nice rooftop at the Hump Youth hostel in the center, all the images of the past week are flashing through my mind.

We just arrived back at Kunming this morning on the over night train from Dali. It was a pleasant way of travelling. Over night trains in China is a good and cheap alternative to spending nights in hotels and you get somewhere else doing it. Some times the trains is too full and crowded, but there is always a bunk for you to sleep. This train though, was not full at all, and so we had the 6 bed compartment to our selves. 

Now it is just about killing the time until the flight will take us back home, to Hong Kong.

I guess I then have to make some effort and upload some photos from the last week, as it has been a really good experience, and we've been out in the rural country side, visited villages and places where the real and true life of Chinese peasants could be observed.

So stay tuned for that.
