Next instalment

Ok so where are we?

Currently we are in my favorite city so far...Chengdu! It's really hot sunny and the city is lovely. Much less hustle and bustle than the last few cities which suits us fine.

Breif run down of the major events of late...
Left Shanghai by sleeper train (no sleep again) to Xi'an. Quite a nice city but more smoggy and smaller streets gave the impression of being busier. Went to the Terracotta warriors which was amazing...8000 warriors all buried and found in the last 50 years!! Brilliant day.

Bike ride around the wall which was cool but the day was a little soured by one of our mates falling foul to pickpockets and loosing his camera with over 600 shots on it. Left by plane having a bitter taste in our mouths. Did have a good 80min massage tho!! Felt like we'd gone 10 rounds with a kickboxer after!!

Spent the last couple of days drinking tea in the parks and temples around Chengdu and really chilling out. Lou is currently doing a cooking course whilst I'm Netting. Sounds like it's going well.

We are all ok and not in Bangkok yet for those that follow the news so don't worry. Our tour guide is from there and is keeping an eye on whats happening. We still have a week or so till we get there so hopefully things will have calmed down! Will keep you posted.

Hopefully I have a while on here so with any luck here come some pics of the last few weeks....
