Laura's Travels
Hey special people! So to fill you in on recent goings on ... after leaving Yangshuo we made our way to Chaolong (a small village just outside of the town). Stayed in a cute little guesthouse ... encountered a few big buggies, not very nice at all but guess I gotta get used to them as they'll be popping up left right and centre from now on ewww. So the girls and I skipped the groups organised activity in Chaolong (cycling for the day he he not a chance!) - instead we went bamboo rafting ... so much fun, was kinda like punting. We sailed gently down the river on our little rafts taking in the scenery - very very relaxing mmm. Okay so that's about if for Chaolong - right now I'm in Longi - a village in the middle of nowhere surrounded by rice fields, it's absolutely beautiful here. Yesterday was pretty exhilirating - went on a 6 hour hike through the rice terraces... felt so proud of myself by the end (all the gyming prior to the trip has obviously paid off daddy!!) As part of the hike we also visited another hillside village .. had a wander around and was invited into somebodys house to have a look too - amazingly basic but the people are so content with what they have .. a real eye opener, kinda makes you appreciate even more what you have. Leaving Longji in a couple of hours, gonna catch a 17 hour train to Hong Kong - yippee! Can't actually wait to get there, although it will be so sad to say goodbye to the rest of the group as it's where our tour ends : ( Oh well not to worry lots more exciting things to come. Missing you all tonnes - lots of love x x x x x
