We have arrived in Chengdu，home of the Panda reserve and the biggest Buddha in the world。 The overnight train was more than a little cramped， and three hours longer than expected - 18hrs on a top bunk banging my head everytime i moved was fun ：）

Get ready for the Mt Huashan pictures when I can get them on here， I have never been in so much pain climbing that thing for 6hrs， and。。well。。。 you‘ll see from the pictures it was worth it。

Hopefully going to the Panda Breeding Reserve tomorrow and i’m going to try and arrange for Emma to have a baby Panda sat on her knee， so im sure there will be some more pics up here very soon that will make you all go ·awwwww·。

Well done to the Winterhill lot， excellent results， miss you all （no really I do！）

And miss the rest of you too，

Love Rich xxx
PS dont expect any postcards anytime soon， 2-3 months is the average delivery time from here！
