So our plan today was to take the bus north of Lijiang (where we are now) to the beginning of Tiger Leaping Gorge and start our trek along the gorge tomorrow. We were also going to book some train tickets to Chengdu and then onto Xining where we will be starting our trip into Tibet and onto Nepal.
However, all did not go according to plan.
We got to the bus station after an hour of searching and having people point in all different directions only to find out that they couldn't arrange train tickets for us (which is what we had been told by our hostel). So instead of taking our chances on getting tickets last minute along with the half billion other people expected to travel this Chinese New Year we decided to leave Tiger Leaping Gorge until our next trip to China.
And to top off our travel woes we decided to spend our free afternoon cycling out to a lovely village outside of Lijiang. Problem was Simon got a flat halfway there so instead we found a nearby university bar to drink away our sorrows.
Next stop Chengdu hopefully if we can get train tickets.
