Day Thirty Waiting to leave for Hong Kong Late up & we rushed around to pack. The maid had already knocked on the door to make sure that we were leaving. Eating my porridge extremely quickly & making the final checks to make sure I hadn't left any knickers lying around because I need then all. With everything stuffed in our bags we headed to reception to check out. As we were just waiting around all day we thought we could just chill on the hostel sofa...

Day Twenty-Nine Total relax Up not so early, these late nights are killing us. We ate our porridge then we headed down stairs as our new friend the lovely Argentinian lady Ana was leaving & heading for another part of China.

After Ana left & we had waved her goodbye at the hos...

Day Twenty-Seven Lotus Park, Yangshuo Park & Sports Stadium Not such an early start again today, to be honest I think we are still sore & shattered from the gruelling bike ride. Breakfast this morning was porridge in bed. We got our little camping dishes & cutlery sets out & borrowed a kettle from reception. Last night on the way back to the hostel we decided to pick up some porridge oats & give it a go. It was successful & it was lovel...

Day Twenty-Six Lazy Time & Trip to the Market Oh my golly gosh, 12.30pm & I couldn't get out of bed. Every part ached from head to toe & I seriously couldn't sit down. My bum was battered & bruised & every time I moved oh the pain (I blame Andy's adventurous attitude)! I will not be getting on a bike for a very very long time, possibly never again the way I'm was feeling. I threw some clothes on & got ready in 2 minutes flat, we needed ...
