Friday 27th - The coach to Yangchun

Check out of the Ossotto, never did get to visit the spa :-( and arrive at the coach station in good time to get the 15:50 coach (remember that time). As we head off out of Guangzhou the afternoon turns to night and about three hours into the trip it starts to rain and rain and rain. 

Huge sheet lightening fills the sky for the next couple of hours and the roads turn to rivers. 

Tarmac is none existent and by this time we realise that the 15:50 coach is not the motorway express express but the more scenic route, seems our Mandarin lessons need a bit more work!  

At times we are down to 10mph and it is like something out of Romancing The Stone!  

Thankfully Alice decides that coach trips are boring and drops off to sleep in the first 10 minutes. Finally arrive 21:30 'quite tired'

Hotel Jin Da Lai is just across the street so we wade over the road which is now like a river with Les, Lisa and Laura who have met us.

We were promised a good deal on the room and find out that we have a honeymoon suite (tell the wife not to get her hopes up), consisting of private lobby, large bedroom with en-suite bath wet room, lounge with TV free computer and wifi, second games room and another en-suite wet room.   Published rate is 1650RMB a night and it is costing us 2550RMB for SEVEN nights including breakfast. 

 

Fall into bed tired and sleep very well.
