The overnight sleeper arrived in Liuzhou bright and early and our connecting train was later in the morning so, we went and are breakfast and had a good look around. We found the local market selling all kinds of fruit and vegetables. There were butcher stalls too with a variety of animals hanging ready to be purchased. One particular animal caught our eye...it was a ***.
Our connecting train we booked ourselves. Aren't we clever! However because we couldn't really understand what the friendly girl behind the counter was saying, we insisted on a particular train number for our journey. Later we found out what she had was trying to tell us. It turns out there was only one seat free! So we had managed to buy one seat and one standing space... in a different carriage.
Luckily on the train we managed to both get a seat and sit together.
Arrival in Guilin was pretty smooth, we caught the correct bus from the train station and asked directions in a Government building. The nice friendly policemen walked us all the way to where we were staying, about 10 minutes away!
