Well we arrived in Datong during a monsoon.
10 mins after arriving the roads had turned into rivers.
Thankfully by morning it had stopped.
Our next challenge was to get ourselves to the yungang caves from Datong,a town where hardly anyone speaks English.
After not having much luck with the buses we ended up taking a taxi there 🙂 then got the bus back.
The buddah’s at the caves were amazing 🙂
We also got a quick visit to the hanging monastery another amazing place.
Then it was time to move on to Xian.
Which meant we had a 16 hour train journey to look forward too

WE will soon be seeing the soldiers then ?..
The plan was to make our own way to see the army today but the weather is so bad we may wait and go on the tour tomorrow 🙂
Oh no not having much luck with the rain ;-( .. Yes I would be surprised if anyone spoke English, .. ..sounds like you are having fun !
We seem to get one good day followed by a rainy day but at least it’s not cold
