Last night was yet another glorious sleeper train. This time to Yichang, where we catch a connecting train to Zhangjiajie.
We have no map in our guide book so we caught the busiest bus from the train station hoping it went to the city center. Luckily it did and we had breakfast at a little local shop before hitting a large hotel to try and use their wifi.
In the afternoon we headed back on our lucky bus to take another train which would take us on the final leg to Zhangjiajie.
At Zhangjiajie we headed to a hostel in the city and booked 2 dorm vega which are a lot cheaper than a double room. Luckily, no one else turned up so we had the room to ourselves. There wasn't many places to eat but we found a really wonderful family run cafe. We spent the rest of the evening chatting to the son who spoke English (you could see he was trying soooo hard) and his mother, who spoke no English so he translated. They were both absolutely wonderful and kept plying us with tasty different fruits!
