We arrived here in Hangzou late Sunday and were taken to Wayne and Chris`s flat. Since then we have walked or taken the local bus to bamboo gardens,silk and clothes markets,West Lake that included flower gardens,pagodas,walk trails,lots of bridges and back later to the lake area for a light and sound show that has a cast of hundreds. Looks like they were walking & dancing on water. Really spectacular。Watched Chris at dancing lesson this morning. It's been hotter and more humid than we expected. We went to the fresh fruit and meat market and had bananas for the first time in ages We generally have lunch in the Uni canteen mess . 4 of us for $5.

We have had a busy week with Les and Valmai and 9 more days to go. Today we are catching the fast train to Shanghi staying there for 2 days then busing it (we think) to Yuyao (waynes factory town) for 2 days. We then are driven back to Hangzhou airport to catch a plane.
We then fly out of Hangzhou to Xian to see the teracotta warriors. On th 4th Oct we are going to Wudangshan (Yin Yang festival once a year).On the 6th Oct we are taking a train to Wuchang then Les and Valmai fly out of Chengdu and sleep all the way to Austalia.Wayne has spent many hours organising this trip so hopefully it will flow, if not we go with it. Wayne and I also fly back to Hangzhou and sleep. Looking forward to what is ahead we are going into unknown teritory in china which is always exciting. Google Wudangshan Mountain and check it out. Blogs might be few and far between for the next 2 weeks but we will be taking many photos so eventually we will share them our fellow bloggers. Miss you all. Chris, Wayne, Les and Valmai.
Waiting in line for train tickets for one hour, only to be told "meiyuo" dont have. Change of plans- bought train tickets to another city and then a plane tickets to our desired destination.
Travelling on the buses is convenient and cheap.
