Today was a simply day. Breakfast was chicken on a stick (our favorite street snack which consists of fried and breaded pieces of chicken on a stick which you can then customise with spices and dipping sauces). We then made our way to the internet cafe where we spent most of our last remaining hours in Xi'an. Today being May 1st is a huge holiday and the streets were even busier than usual. We past all kinds of festivities and characters but couldn't really stop to appreciate any of them. We had a coach to catch.
As I turned the broken handle to open the window in the car, beads of sweat rolled off my face. The taxi driver zig-zagged his way through the busy roads at a million miles an hour. He successfully (and safely) drops us off at the coach station in record timing I'm sure. We found our coach and climbed onboard. The beds are small but not entirely uncomfortable. The only issue I had was the people smoking at the front of the bus which is where we were located. Oh, and maybe the occasional sweaty feet smell - although the driver was pretty good at getting out the air freshener whenever it was needed. The journey was uneventful but comfortable and I actually managed to get some sleep.
