Hotels - part 1

We made a start today. As mentioned previously we had already booked a place in Beijing, next door to Brent. Today we looked at our next three destinations - Pingyao, Xian and Leshan.

In Pingyao it was impossible to go past a place called Cheng Homes for The Aged Folk.

Xian is a much bigger city and the hotels all looked a bit boring. We eventually settled on the Citadines Central, mainly because it was, well, central. Besides, who could resist that lobby and, in case we don't get enough walking, a gym.

The choice in Leshan was even more limited. We are tending to do most of our bookings through Agoda. They have been good in the past and it enables us to pay by credit card before we leave rather than carry a bundle of cash - a lot of hotels won't accept credit cards at the door. Anyway, Agoda only had three hotels in Leshan. I guess we won't spend much time in it - the wonderfully named Anyi 158. Who knows where the other 157 are. 

More bookings another day. This travel business is tiring.
