The Nanjing skyline is super pretty from every angle. I loved our boat ride. Then we had just enough time to go to the hotel by our hotel and ride up the glass elevator with a view from the lake.
We reunited with our tour guide, Jay Jay, and said goodbye to Sally. We made a stop at the Yangtze River Bridge!! The one Melissa and I failed to find!! We were actually pretty far away!! It was cool - and it felt good to finally see something that was a failed attempt earlier :)
After lunch we said goodbye to Melissa. She is going to be hiking Yellow Mountain by herself while we finish up our touring and then she'll meet up with us in Hong Kong to fly home.
We went to Xi'an by plane. Got in around 10pm. Our hotel was right next to South Gate and right by the bell and drum towers. A little group if us went out to check out the area.
I was so tired! I hung out till 11 or so and just got all upset cause I wanted an ice cream and couldn't get one at McD's ... They said no to me ... But then the people I was with ordered a sundae and they had told me no on that too. I couldn't believe they didn't call me over or just order one for me (this is how I know I was overtired!) so I said goodbye to the group cause I was grumpy and overtired and kinda sick of people. And on the way home passed a DQ and Baskin Robins and neither one of them was open even though the sign said till midnight :( So I stopped at a 7-11 looking place and got a coke zero and m'n'ms. But all I wanted was an ice cream!!! So I went to bed!! (In my private room ~ now that Melissa is hiking)
Bell Tower (to tell time in the day) ... Also because it was bad luck for the gates to face each other, so the bell tower blocked that direct line from gate to gate.
