On the way to Yunan

We had a last round of shopping :) in Yangshuo (baught
some warm cloth as it seems it'll be cold for all our
trip and some flash for the camera). We got a ride
back to Guilin airport where our plane to Kunming was
delayed (they were fixing one engine:).
We managed to get a bed in the night train to Dali and
killed time in a small restaurant not far from the
train station. It took us 45 min to order as noone
was speaking a single word of english but we ended up
with really good food.
The neighbourhood of the train station was like most
trainstation end up in most of the places... quite
unfriendly, Evgeni was almst running despite his 30kg
load to try to avoid kids and beggars.
In the train we chatted for a few hours with an old
painter from Beijing that was on a trip around the
country to find inspiration. He showed us the thousand
of pictures he took already of which some will become
very nice oil paintings.The man had been around the
world and was a very interresting character.
