Friday afternoon at 17.47 (or something like that) we took the hour and a half trip to Hangzhou by super CRH train (CHR, HRS, JFUEIK or one varient).
It's famous for it's AMAZING west lake and china calls it 'heaven on earth' or something which is actually quite a name to live up to!
We arrived at about 7.15 and we had two jobs to do:
A) buy return tickets - Check
B) Find a place to stay! - Problem! The hostel we wanted to go to was full up. I felt like how Mary must have felt at christmas 2000 years ago\\\\\\\
It wasn't too bad though, having a Betty comes in handy and she just phoned another hotel place and got us a room. EASY.
The hard part was trying to find where it actually was and the greesy, money-grabbing taxi drivers didn't make things easy! One even shouted at Betty because apparently she should know where it was because 'she's not a foreigner'... urgh.
We found it though, don't worry!

have a look here for some picturesss!http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=www.b-etty.blogspot.com&sl=sv&tl=en&history_state0=
