Day 47

The tension of last night is considerably eased this morning after a truce was reached with Tracy and her combatent.

We continued our journey into Xian which in total took 17 hours from hotel to hotel. 
Arriving at 3pm just gave us time to take a taxi to the museum, which must have had a special deal on for locals as the ticket office queue was huge. With the museum closig at 5, Tracy did her tour guide bit and pushed in at the front to buy the 5 tickets and we made the most of the hour and a half available. The exhibits cover the Chinese dynasties from several thousand years ago right up to the end of the Ming dynasty around a hundred years ago (if I was listening properly)

Our usual wander in the evening found a good small restaurant of which there seems to be dozens even in the smallest of villages. A meal for 7, including beer is averaging around £11.
