xiamen. fujian china. round 2 april 6th – 9th. 2009

Our return to Xiamen was even more complicated than our first visit and after burdening Stephen with my stress about it, we arrive again by cab to our hostel. Jenny is back too, our friend on staff and a new couple who is enjoying the space and the chance to just chill out as we are. We are trying to figure out how to get to Chengdu from here, not a straight forward journey by train. In the end, we choose to fly to Chengdu and are in no hurry , so spend a few days here first. We watch all of Heroes season 2 again, a couple of films, wander to a nearby temple grounds. Chat with our new friends here. Food is easy and close by, and 7 months in to our travels it is nice to feel no need to DO anything in particular. We are looking forward to seeing Judy again though and don’t linger too long before making our way back to Chengdu. Maybe we will see Xiamen again one day.
