30 HOUR TRAIN TRIP

We left Lhasa by train - 30 hours which flew by as we shared our cabin with J&M from Germay, a great couple. We shared our carriage with a 'inch high private eye' who pretended to take pictures from just outside our cabin whilst eavesdropping, when he continued to take pictures as we entered a tunnel, we smelt a rat! Needless to say we all punctuated our conversation with 'oh travel in China is fantastic, oh yes the people are so overwhelmingly friendly, those steamed buns were sensationally good'.
