A quiet day


Today we have a day on our own. Helen our guide has gone with the driver back to Guilin and will pick us up tomorrow.

So, catching up, reading, looking at the scenery, breakfast, catching up, reading, looking at the scenery and rather later than was sensible a walk into town.

Very hot and Tones cough and now mine not too good.  Magnum for lunch and presents for Tones girls and a hot walk back along the river back to the hotel.

It takes half an hour to walk into town and it would be lovely but for the really hot temperature and the lack of shade for much of the way.    But after a morning of doing not much at all we needed the exercise and just hoped it would be cooler in the mountains where we are going tomorrow.

It is a pretty little town and for once we were not really badgered to buy stuff by the market stallholders and the shopkeepers. So in spite of melting we did have a good day.
