Day 48 Arriving in Kunming

Bah, yea the bed was nice for space on the train, the stop at 2am &
lights on for an hour before & after wasn't great but still much
better than the hard seat cattle class.
We arrived just before 8am and walked to our hostel out from the crazy
busy rail station.
Our room wasn't available so early so we had breakfast and managed to
upload a few photos before checking in then heading out to wonder the
streets.
We checked out some markets including a bird & fish market and well it
was just a pet market since it also had snakes, rabbits, turtles,
mice, tarantulas, squirrels, scorpions, chinchillas and lots & lots of
cute puppies which were very hard to tear Rachel away from.
As well as the market pictures I've included a sign which yes is
obvious to its real meaning but also on the funny side it looks like
it prevents Harry Potter from coming through here!
We also took in a walk round the city park, being a nice Saturday it
was packed and apart from the welcomers of the seagulls back to the
lake(numbering hundreds) there were many groups of Tai Chi exercisers
the bigger groups were well in to the hundreds!
So while writing this unlike the blistering cold of the last 7 weeks
I'm sitting with a free beer in the roof garden sunshine of roughly 21
degrees.
Miles up in the photo of blue sky is a kite being flown by the guy in
the following photo holding the reel to control it requiring gloves
and a strap. You cant see in the photo but high rise buildings are all
around, it didn't seem the safest place to launch a super high flying
kite.
