After breakfast at 7.30 am, we started our 30km Bike Ride into the Chinese Countryside – Yangshuo, but Lorna was not happy at this time!!
The itinerary that we took was extraordinary, the scenery was remarkable. We went near the Butterfly Cave and Moon Hill and got some great pictures. On the whole the ride took about 3 hours and was worth every meter. Lorna even attempted to whip a little Chinese kid on the way around. We caught a man up on his bicycle and he had his one year old kid in a chair on the back. Lorna kept trying to peddle up behind him silently to grasp the child she was now referring to as “Ping”. She must be get locked up in the prison one day. Lisa, get your bags packed because you may need to make the rest of the trip with me!!
After the bike ride we went to a neighboring Yangshuo restaurant to have dinner, where we ordered Beer Fish and Beer Duck for the six of us. The beer fish is actually a local delicacy and I have to say it was exquisite. The beer duck was also very nice, and spicy, but it was all on the bone so became a little awkward. Now when I say it was on the bone, everything was there with the feet, the head and the beak!! July and Claire were a little shelved by this to say at the least! The food here was really good and also very cheap.
We went to have some Tai Chi lessons in the afternoon, and at first, there were only the five of us, but we were joined by 2 more half way through. The thing that stroked was the fact that we were taken to what seems to be the town square and had to do the lesson there, right in the middle of everyone. There were people taking photos and even filming the performance. I can even feel YouTube coming back to show me here. At any rate, the lesson was really excellent and we successed in having a full understanding of self defense and recreation afterwards. Although later in that evening, we did try to do the same Tai Chi moves on the dance floor in one of the local bars, which was not nice I can tell you!!
