Wednesday 9th July 2008

  • No surprises that we were up early again.
  • This was mainly for our Tai chi lesson, that was pretty good, and taught us the correct way to hold watermelons.
  • Hired bikes and a local guide to cycle to moonhill.
  • Very scenic, paddy fields and mini-mountains.
  • I had an awesome red and yellow mountain bike, lydia and charlotte had crazy pink girlie bikes.
  • Big River.
  • Reached moon hill then had insane climb to the top
  • 'step to the moon'
  • Loads of wet, slippery steps. Was shattering. Old women followed us all the way up trying to sell things.
  • Finally got to top without death. Very sweaty. Lauren and group were at the top. Big natural rock arch, looks like a crescent moon from below. We rested a while.
  • Headed back down. I went down chattering inanely to an old chinese woman, as I was worried I would "jandal-slip" to death. She offered to hold my hand all the way down, and thought Charlotte was my wife. Nope impressed when we didn't buy anything from her at the end!
  • Ate awesome meal cooked by farmer's family, big shovvling of food situation. Then it poured with torrential rain.
  • Double ponchoed up. Charlote got a flat tire. Cute dog and ducks at fixing place, probably for eating.
  • May have eaten Beer Fish. Slight situation with Lydia being petrified of fish.
  • In evening saw amazing light show designed by same guy as the Beijing Olympic ceremony. Better than Disney.
  • EPIC.
