So I got back from the Tiger Leaping Gorge trek! It started yesterday- we took a bus for 2 hours, and started climbing a HUGE mountain. All way long a man with a donkey escorted me, waiting for me to bale and pay him some money to take me to the top and guess what- I did eventually. It was raining, and cold and I was soaking wet, but the view was just breathtaking.
Later we finished the first day in the Halfway Guest house, so we sat there, freezing,with a really weird bunch of people- a girl for Austria named Billie, an Italian guy named Stefano, 2 Danish women and three people from New Zealand- all in their mid 50s. One of them starting telling us stories about weeds and constipation- fun! It was very nice, and funny- I had a great time hanging out with them.
Today we got up at 8:00, and decided to go down towards a the river and head back. Usually there is a longer trail, but due to some very dangerous landslides it isn't very safe. Gil took a longer way and we met on the way back. All in all, very tiring but lovely. and good exercise:-)
tomorrow we are leaving Lijiang to Zhongdian ( I think). And it's going to be nice and freezing!
so this is it for today..... once again, I really hope at some point I'll find a picasa/USB friendly computer...
