First we stopped at the market. There were loads of 'things' that are eaten in China, which we tend not to in the UK. Darryl witnessed an older man selecting his dinner and watched the whole process from beginning to end. Not great, but interesting experiencing another culture.
We hired a couple of bikes today for just a £1 each. Only trouble was Darryl's was pink and named Alice! We set off down the road and through a tunnel, the longest, most horribly polluted tunnel ... ever, and into the countryside! We explored lots of little villages, saw water buffalo, bamboo rafts and some beautiful butterflies. When we headed home we passed through a lovely little tunnel, (which was the way we should have headed out too!) and stopped to fill up in snack street. At least that's what we call it as we can't read the street sign in Chinese characters.
Tried to find the night market near our hotel but either arrived too late and everyone had gone home or there are so few tourists, they decided not to bother opening. Shame, Christine was looking forward to a juicy frog to eat for supper!
