stevo and fi round the world
Hello again arrived in Hangzhou on friday after a plesent 2 hour train journey, hostel is small but lovely rooms. Dumped our bags and went looking grub christopher columbus was navigating so took a while but eventually got to one of the best restaurants in china although no one could speak english, just about to leave when a big chinese american came over and was able to translate thank god. Ended up getting eel noodles which you can see in our photo albums looked terrible but actually were really nice also had shrimp noodles which were lovely and all for just 4 pound which included 2 large beers happy days. Went to the buddist temple and up the cable car yesterday to north point amazing things to see including caves that have the first ever recorded carvings in the world. Went on the tour boat to the islands on west lake where the 3 pools mirroring the moon are again beautiful and a great spot for photos. Had a lovely lunch of noodles again but great and cheap. Just relaxing back at the hostel now train to Beijing dosen't leave till 10 pm and takes 16 hours but we have bunks on the train so we'll be like bert and ernie should be good. Hangzhou a great place and West lake has to be the highlight bites have died down after medicine woman has went to work thank god for fi. Anyway fill you in on the Great wall and the forbidden city in the next few days when we arrive in Beijing hope alls well.
love the travellers
