Back in Dali

So, we left rainy Lijiang on the luxury bus to Dali! Yet again they gave a little free gift! It was a key ring with a bus on it! Aaahh, the service is nice here in China! Can't imagine Bus Eireann doing that!

When we arrived in Dali, we found that the sleeper buses to XiShanBanNa (good girl

the place in the South of Yunnan) were gone. That place name is too long. Took m ages to remember it!!! So, there was one in the morning at 11:30. We were also contemplating flying down there since we wee told that the sleeper took 16 hours!!! So, we had to find a hotel. We ended up staying in a nice 3 or 4 star hotel for 100 Yuan each or something! Jenny got him to give a discount. You seem to be able to get money off anything here by haggling! So, I had a great sleep that night!
