Departed for Xian airport at 9am, for a 12:35pm flight. China Eastern airlines, which was just fine. A fairly modern Airbus, and more comfortable than American.
Arrive Dunhuang about 3pm, after flying over some magnificent snow covered mountains (bigger than the Rocky Mountains I think).

| Dunhuang airport arrival. |
Lodged at the Dunhuang International hotel. (The web site is all in Chinese, but Google's translation makes it mostly readable.) Our schedule didn't allow time to check in before we began our evening travels, so off we went!

| Just appreciating the desert scenery as we drive to the Formations. |
 |
| Here's the final approach to the formations. |

Judy and Shudong, in the wind,

We visit the formations for about an hour and then drive 2.5 hours back to the city and the Dunhuang International Hotel.
FYI: Too Mucho Busso is my own Chinese dialect for "too much time on the bus"...

Judy and Gerry, after lunch,
someplace in a desert oasis.
|
We finally arrive at the hotel about 11:30pm! Then, No wifi in hotel, and too little water in the hotel room, after no water on the bus! Serious problem...
Bought a beer at dinner for 10 Yuan, and then bottled water at the hotel for 12 Yuan, so we could get some liquid.

Here's a bit of toilet humor that
I saw hanging over a urinal in the airport.

And now, for the men only:
