The morning was VERY painful. Our cretinous roommate fortunately checked out while we were still recovering - he actually had a crazier night than us, arriving back to the hostel at 8am! We assume he had his first beer and thus was off his t*** passed out in a gutter all night. Around 2pm after several hours of groaning and internet procrastination we decided it was time to carpe the rest of the diem. It was a great start to the afternoon as there was an envelope waiting for us in reception from Chloe with 3 tickets to the mud baths! Chloe had bought them as a present for George's "birthday" which we have now celebrated about 6 times out here. Thank you Chloe!
Josh's guidebook recommends a couple of restaurant for every PROVINCE (not very convenient) but randomly the top rated restaurant for the *** province which we were in was actually in the tiny town of Yangshou! We became popular regulars at Cloud 9 during our stay here -literally had every meal at the restaurant, even on the same table! The dishes were all really reasonably priced and so we comforted our hangovers with multiple duck and chicken plates.
The rest of the day was pretty useless since we weren't feeling great! We wandered around the town and haggled for a few more souvenirs and fakes. Josh and George spotted some Mont Blanc hand luggage bags to replace their broken ones - this marked the start of a 3 day battle to get them as cheaply as possible from two competing shops! We ate dinner in a pizzeria which was a nice change from Chinese food and then went back to the hostel.
