This morning we made our way to the train station with the hope of leaving our bags in the left luggage room - but we found that all the different storage rooms were closed, and there was a heavier than normal presence of police officers. So we reluctantly kept hold of our dead weight lifelines for the rest of the day.
This didn't turn out to be too difficult as we remained within the vicinity of the bus station for most of the day, killing more time on the internet researching Central Asia as we have an increasing interest of seeing more of it than just Kazakhstan.
Apart from a lunch break the day went relatively quick and before we knew it we were on a sleeper bus headed for Yingchuan in Ningxia province. On the bus we conversed as much as possible with the conductor who was pretty cut from hauling heavy luggage in and out of the bus all day. The night was very hot and with useless aircon, we knew we were in for a sleepless night.
Adlibing it awake.
