A lazy morning and then it was off for coffee across the road from the hotel. The cafe is small but the coffee is good, possibly the best we have had so far. The coffee comes from Yunnan Province which is off to the west of us, it’s smooth and is not bitter like many others I’ve tried.

It says decided that we have a lazy day walking around Yangshuo and so we did. One thing we noticed quite soon was the many large butterflies that seem to be here and they are very beautiful. Two in particular you will see in the video below.

We walked through the local park where they have the usual congregation of the old and those doing exercise and we even had some singers.

Walking along the quiet streets we found so many small quaint and inviting cafés but if we had stopped at each one we would have been awake for days.

In the afternoon there are many boats arriving from Guilin, just as we did yesterday and so this morning before the hoards arrived in Yangshuo we realised that it’s a lovely wee place but as the we neared the time for the arrival of the boats we saw the setting up of the many stalls and folk getting ready for the next influx.

This road brings you back round to the Li River once more where we found and old guy with his two cormorants and so Catherine decided to have her “photies took”

We headed for lunch and ate our fill and then returned to the hotel for tea. The weather has been so warm today that after having my cup of tea I felt in need of a siesta and so I did.
