Day 9-- Yangshuo

Just a short one for today, as we spent most of the day travelling and trying to get over our hangovers. We had a bus trip from our hotel to the airport, then a 2 hour flight to Guilin and then finally a 2 hour bus to Yangshuo, which is like a backpakers paradise, full of bars and Western food places. We were starving by time we got there and we went to the bar in the hotel and praise the lord they had some great food on the menu- chinese food is nice but imagine eating 8 takeaways in a row. Anyway we had a choice to make- pizza, steak,burgers, pasta.Really tough decision, i went for steak with peppered sauce and mashed potato with onion rings,fuckin great. Roisin got mashed potato with cheese and bacon and of course tomato ketchup and lots of it. That night we headed down to the river to go Comoron fishing. Its basically this guy on the raft who goes downstream with bout 5 Comoron birds around him. They catch fish along the way but he has tied rope round their necks so they cant swallow,he then fishes the birds out and gets them to spit the fish into a basket. Was fairly cool, then we had the opportunity to have our picture taken with the birds on our arm. I wont even touch our dog Holly at home so the chance of me touching one of the those things was very slim.Roisin did it though,although she didnt look overly comfortable, picture will appear when we get it from Nick. That night we explored the town a bit and we found a dvd store selling tv series. We managed to get Series 3 of Desperate Housewives for 40 Yuan, which is about 4 euro and seen as i spent 120 euro buying the other two for Roisin i was firmly in favour of the purchase.

Thats all for 2day
