We were touched by the great hospitality, we enjoyed at Jenny’s younger brother\u015b place (meals, laundry service, travel info and snacks). Everyone wanted to make sure we had a great stay in China. Jenny’s oldest nephew took a day off to drive us to airport for the start of our \u201cChina exploration\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our commute to the airport, the check-in process and flight from Shanghai to Guilin (2 hrs) went very well. I noticed that I have already started to ensure I don’t loose my place in the disorganized queues that takes place everywhere in China. There is always someone trying to squeeze. By being a bit larger has its privileges! We arrived at Guilin airport around 4pm and prompted boarded a shuttle bus to the Guilin’s bus terminal. From there, we hopped onto another bus that would bring us to Yangshuo some 40km further. We opted to go directly to Yangshuo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We arrived in Yangshuo around 7:30pm. We quickly noticed the town was booming of tourist walking the streets. As we walked with our backpacks and sweating in the heat, we made our way towards a hotel we had identified in our travel book and we were hoping that we would be able to find a room. Luckily for us, we had no trouble getting a very nice room for around $30 and encountered very friendly\/helpful staff at the Morning Sun Hotel. The night life on the street enticed us for a long walk. The town is clearly geared for tourist… there are restaurants everywhere, coffee hang-outs, souvenir shop and plenty of night clubs. As our first meal, we tried the local specialty: the \u201cbeer fish\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We realized we are still suffering a bit of jet lag as we keep on waking-up in the middle of the night around the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n
