As we had enjoyed the luxurious trip the night before, we decided to try again this time on our way to Xian, 12 hours again on a train that reminded us of a World War 2 Film.
We could only get hard sleeper tickets which means that we have to share the wagon with 50 other people smoking, spitting and eating non stop; at least we were lucky enough to be the 4 of us together with 2 other people on the 3rd level above us.
The night was a nightmare. It was freezing so we had to sleep not only with clothes on but coats too. In the middle of the night a lad, aka ARCADITAS, got ill and sick so kept everyone awake. We felt sorry for her but we could have killed her.
Tye train was 2 hours late so instead of 11 hours of agony it was nearly 13 and Xian was next...
