Crashing into other' graves...

After a pretty late night last night at monkey Janes roof top bar with two for one cocktails and Swedish company who drunkenly shotted the traditional snake wine (a chineese tradition where they behead the snake and drain the blood to drink, then eating the remains including the beating heart)... We retired from the lightningw cracking over the mountains at about 2am... One man down? This morning not feeling all that energized we dragged our sorry selves out of bed to meet our new friend Anastasia for breakfast and the plan today's activities. Following Anastasia's initial plans we joined her in hiring some bikes and a italian guide (Che Che) to go check out dragon bridge...a 400 yr old bridge just out side of Yangshou. What we thought was going to be an easy 15km round trip leisurely stroll up the river turned into a near 30km painful but very rewarding adventure. My newly purchased platform joggers were put to work and my body is now left even More bruised then before!! However I can't quite top dearest Chloe, in a trance from the beautiful scenery she obviously forgot to turn at the corner and ran straight off route into a grave! Bruised battered but still smiling we finally arrived home to wash the dirt away and feed ourselves some delicious soup that cost nothing more than an Aussie dollar! Now bed bound before another exciting adventure tomorrow!
