Started off our second day in China with these little cute buns We wanted to take the high speed train from Nanning to Guilin So in order to get to the station We had to take a cab there Worst thing was Hotel did not want to call the cab for us Giving all sorts of dumb reasons Saying the station was very near No driver would want to take us And actually asked us to walk there!!! We had to walk and cross the busy streets with cars with our luggage! We were so so so angry We walked more than 20 minutes to reach the station There were some security checks at the station With a huge crowd Luckily we were still able to catch the train What a morning~ Finally in the train~ Time to enjoy the view and sleeeep~ Reached after 3 hours Food first! Rice noodles! Sooo goooood~ Time to explore this beautiful place We actually hired a driver + guide in Guilin So he would drive us...
