And... we're in Kunming

Well, we made it to Kunming and get off the plane at exactly 11:19 this morning.  Turns out "soft" sleeper is a bit of a misnomer and Reid didn't sleep very well on the train, so we decided to take a day in Kunming to get a decent night sleep before boarding a sleeper bus for the border.  Without too much drama we managed to get on the proper bus and get off at the proper stop for the hostel recommended in Lonely Planet (Cloudland).  Actually finding it proved more tricky, but about twenty minutes later we were standing in the lobby getting our key.  It's an enchanting hostel with an open courtyard and all the rooms opening into the courtyard.  The beds are hard, but not as hard as the train, so we're hoping for a better night's sleep.  Right now we are at the "French Cafe" where I had a lovely quiche and part of a salad--it's sad when you have to start eating fries to keep yourself of eating too much salad (one should avoid fresh veggies while traveling, so salads are forbidden and, yet, so appealing).  They have a couple second-hand books but none that look too interesting, so I think we are going to head back to the hostel for a quick nap before dinner.  I don't think we've decided whether to stay two nights yet, but will be on our way again tomorrow evening or the day after.
