Sarah and Si

Hello,

Firstly: Happy Birthday Nat!

We've just got off the minibus from Yangshuo and are sat in the youth hostel in guilin - being cheeky and using their facilities until our train departs at 8pm to Guangzhou (last stop before Hong Kong).
Theres been a change to the itinary - when we get to guangzhou - we're going to get straight on the express train to HK rather than stay a night. we'vre book ed hotel in HK for the 10th (not the Miramar as there was no availability) we're staying in the Prudential Hotel which is just up the rd from the Miramar.

So, we bought some more bits and bobs and a huge bag to carry them all in. we also got Si a new ruck sack for his PHD... seen as the other one is broken and there was the incident in the back pocket with tip-ex (about 3 months ago and its still not cleaned up). You'll be pleased to know this one is lime green! dispite all my colour and style advice he couldnt be pursuaded otherwise : )

So we're off to a supermarket round the corner to stock up on train snacks (the train is 16 hrs so we get in at 12.00 tmz).

Simon doesnt have anything to contribute as he's dying to get on this PC to mess around with his MP3 thingi (men!).

Love Sarah and Si x

ps. Remind us to tell you afunny incident about me climbing through a hotel window.

pps. Whats happening at the Airport - we thought lori might not be there whioch would mean we could all get in 1 car, but i assume if ur in oxford for a bit then she will be. We dont care as long as you co-ordinate it between yourselves. thanks!
