With no wifi now for three days and still raining, we departed Pingliang heading for Xian, capitol of Shaanxi Province, and home to the famous Army of Terracotta Warriors! We'll be here for three days. A full city tour, nightlife, the Terracotta site, extensive historic sights, getting visa extensions, and mailing home packages of souvenirs and winter gear are on the agenda. We'll also be saying goodbye to Viton, our Vietnamese Aussie, who flys home tomorrow. The four hour drive on the toll road was uneventful and arriving in this massive city was a sight to behold. Skyscrapers and construction went on for miles. The amount of people (6 million) and traffic was mind-boggling. We're below 1,000 ft and the rain had stopped. We settled into our comfy 4* city center hotel to rest, catch up, and regroup. Sent from Leopard's iPhone. Read my blog at www.leopard2013.blogspot.com
From the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean, this is my first "round-the-world" tour and the first time I am traveling alone. It's also the first time I am NOT the leader of the group. This will be a huge adventure for me, one that tests my patience (smile), stamina and my ability to adapt. I can't wait!
