Spent a night in Wuhan which looked nice but we were only here for a night so we really didn't get any time to have a look around. the next day we spent travelling, First of all caught an day/overnight train to guilin , shared a cabin with two chinese OAP's among a massive retirement group with long johns and a lot of snoring! we arrived at 5:30 am. NIGHTMARE. Got off this and then it was a 2 hour drive to yangshuo. Yangshuo is very tourist based and we have seen alot more western people here. Fab small village with lots of pubs and places to eat and they do a light show that is the chinese equivalent of riverdance - brilliant!
We spent a day walking around the place and yes you guessed it Deborah bought something !!!! Meet the rest of the group in a bar for cocktail happy hour which started at 6 !!! Left the place at 1 am locked. Good fun. One of the boys in the group ordered bamboo RAT, so i had to try some, not the best, he managed to eat the lot of it even the teeth!
Woke up the next morning with both of us feeling very dodgy. Both of us had stomach bugs. There was a cycle through the country side booked so we decided to go, got to halfway through it and could not go any further so we came back to the hotel. checki out pics of intels new offices on the Li river and gers new job!
Spent the rest of the night staying very close to the toilet !!!!
Well we are heading for hong kong today, so another over night train and lots of travel. Not looking forward to it, but then onto Thailand at weekend for some serious relaxing! gers attempt at growing a beard and becoming a wannabe Tom Hanks didnt last very long as he looked more like desperate dan from the beano!
will update again soon
love D&G
