27/5 - Kunming

Hi All,

After a 6 hours flight including 1 quick stop at Xian's airport, we arrived to Kunming - The Capital of Yunnn province. It was almost 24:00 at night while getting there, so you can imagine, it was a one full long day for us.

as usual, things got really slow when we issued the visa to Vietnam, it took us 5 days to do so. The funny thing, during these 5 days, we didn't do much, we spent 1 day in the bamboo temple with its wonderful clay figures which were sculptured a few hundred years ago.



It was nice visit but after seeing so many temples already, it was not something special for us, you can say we pretty much "templed out". The live open market nearby the bus station was more thrilling experience though.



Most of our time in Kunming we spent in the room since Efrat got sick, she "refused" to feel better until taking some Antibiotic pills (Yoni had to spend several of hours in the hospital to get it for here). We were lucky enough to meet in our hotel a retired nurse (Lea) with her husband who helped us.

On Sunday, Yoni left the "room of sickness" and spend a wonderful time alone, walking and wondering the city's Sunday markets and live shows in the local park.



The train to Guilin city is taking 18 hours and from there - another 1 hour bus to Yangshou (our next destination).



Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
