Tody we hiked through the rice terrace fields. The original hike was supposed to be for 5-6 hours, but the weather was against us. We woke to the sound of consistant rain and had to rethink our plans. The hike was shortened to 2 hr hike into a village, pretty much all uphill. There were a few slips along the way but nothing too untoward. I mde one of the more spectacular slips in the first five minutes! The lunch at a local inn was fantastic. The girls are all enjoying the food and are eating heartily. They got an opportunity to do some shopping at the local stalls this afternoon and have made a few choice purchases that will make you very happy I'm sure.
We leave the village in the morning and drive out to where we begin our bike ride through the local villages. The karst mountains are simply beautiful in this region and I'm sure the girls will be entranced by the scenery. Shopping is great in Yangshou and I know they are looking forward to more of that!
I should be able to get some photos uploaded over the weekend so keep your eyes peeled on this space.
