2nd Night Without Leilei

Oh but it was a nice night's sleep - undisturbed for the second night in a row.

Today we toured around and within minutes I was fed up of being a tourist. It's great to be able to see an interesting cliff and to make a comment about what it looks like, a bit like a cloud, but to be told that around the corner is "elephant head cliff" or "sheep tail hole" somewhat dampens it for me. If we'd heard something like "peasant woman's breast beach" then maybe it would have been interesting but the most annoying thing was that people charged you 20 kuai just to get close enough to take a boring photo of the said cliff/hole/beach.

In some "Elephant cliff" place we did take a boat ride which was quite nice. I also quite enjoyed the walk over the hills even though you had to keep to the path. Nicolas also seemed to enjoy this place.

At some stage we happened upon a secondary school with some interesting advice, possibly sponsored by Nike.

Just do it, but try five times - you will have pain but take it easy...
