chance to see the city except for a little wander through a night
market. The next morning we headed to Yangshuo for a relaxing,
peaceful few days in China. The place we stayed at was just outside
the town, between the mountains and the Li river. On the first day we
walked along the beach by the river until I saw a snake, got scared
and we turned back round. On Thursday we went rock climbing. We
climbed a few rockfaces of the mountains surrounding us. The
instructor made us do the hardest one first, because a school group
was on the easier bit. I bashed my knee at the first bit and had to
come down early to get it cleaned and covered. Colin did really well
and climbed to every marker they set for us. It was tough, but really
fun and great to be climbing a proper mountain rather than an indoor
wall. We had to rent bikes to cycle to the mountain, so kept them for
the rest of the day and rode around town. It's pretty scary walking and
riding in China, because there doesn't really seem to be any rules.
Really frustrating as a pedestrian and scary as a cyclist.
The next day we walked into town, had lunch and then back to our
hostel for dinner. The food here is really good, so Colin and i had a massive
maincourse each and dessert. We leave for Hong Kong tonight and cross
the border tomorrow morning. Can't believe our time in China is almost
over, it flew by so quickly. We definitely want to come back one day
to do the things we've had to miss out this time.
