My Travels

This is a day by day journal, so in the future I can look back and reflect on my experiences and those I have shared them with.

Guilin to Yangshuo

CHINA | Wednesday, 29 October 2008 | Views [80]

I had previously booked a ticket for a river trip from Guilin to Yangshuo. The scenery was amazing albiet hazy again. The river meandered its way south, and from the boat I was able to see many of the locals going on about their daily business on the river, with mountains making an beautiful backdrop

Amongst others, I hooked up with a nice Swiss couple on the boat, and once in Yangshuo checked into a local youth hostel. Chatted to several residents of the hostel over a beer or two. One of the travellers here is from Hove, small world.

That evening went out to dinner and drinks with a few people from the hostel, and ended up in Monkey Janes Rooftop bar. After a few games of beer ping pong with Jane and some others in the bar I staggered back to the hostel via several more streets than I had original anticipated. Basically I got lost, since it was dark and all the bars had closed up I got a bit disorientated. More offers a massage........I must have really looked tired.
