walk up the path, the heavens opened up and we got drenched. Saw the Giant Panda's eating and chilling in the rain (similiair to old men!) They were so cute and cuddly. Went to see the Red Panda next [the one that Kathsaid never existed - she will beleive everyting I sayow on!] then went to the nursey to see the baby Panda's.
The kids [3yrs old] were playing with tins/sticks like a id would...funny! They managed to get stuck in chairs and it was good watching it stuggle out. Went to the museam after some t.
Back at hostel for lunch and went to a Chinese burger chain, Dicos. Yummy! I sat on net for a while while Kath did some shopping then caught a bus to train station for train to Xian [20hrs]. had some beers on train, and went to bed pretty early.

Arrived into Xian then checked into private hotel nr station for 40Y each (v nice though!) We got a call from a prostitute you was looking for business, usual thing! Went to the Muslim qtr for kebabs which were delish.

20/4
The next morning we caught the first bus to the warriors and checked them whilst no one was there (it was gr8). They were good, on such a scale and so much hasn't been dug up yet. All three pits were good. Amazing place, def a highlight! The figures have so much detail,down to the horses armour and shoulders belt buckles. There was a pit no4,but the emperor died b4 completion so it was empty. Bought some figures and ended up with loads as they didn't have change of 5Y or 40p...

Camera is working well at the min and getting some cracking fotos.

We ran onto the 2pm train, secured bags and seats and sorted out food [noodles] for journey. We had some noodles and a couple of beers and went to bed at 9ish (lights out at 10).

21/4 - Datong.
I was awake at 7ish. I have been sleeping better on trains/ferries than in hotels! Very few westerners around (SARS) is scaring folks!
