China day 23 – Wuhan

Still no sign of any rail tickets, but the hostel staff seem more confident that they will have the tickets later today for tomorrow’s train.  We can only wait and hope!  There is not much left to see here and so we return to East Lake to explore a bit more of the park. This time we successfully negotiate the bus system and get off right outside the gates.  It’s another lovely day,  the temperature is perfect and we enjoy a relaxed stroll.  We continue to attract a lot of attention wherever we go, mainly due to Andy’s beard – beards not being very common in China and certainly  none as luxuriant as his.  Today is no exception and we are approached for photographs by four people in quick succession.  It seems that it only takes one to ask and others have the courage to follow suit. By close of play, still no tickets …. welcome to Hotel California!
