Hi all, sorry its been so long since we last updated, time has flown. Here's the rest of what we got up to in China. After leaving Dali, we travelled back to Kunming, while we were there we visited the Stone Forest which although spectacular the whole park was quite commercial with lots of over the top landscaping which spoiled the whole experience slightly.

We also managed to find time for a spa treatment with Clare having 28 years of dead skin shaved off her heals!! We then travelled through the mountains to Dalat, a town known as a honeymoon destination for the Vietnamese. Being up in the mountains the weather wa...
