Bed like heaven and struggle to gt up but of course the thought of breakfast pulls me through...we eat at a cafe alongside the river and watch hundreds of goldfish fight against the current and each other for bits of stale bread we drop in. watch stupid chinese tourists trying to walk on the cobblestones in high heals...duh! We spend the day walking round the lovely old town...it IS completely taken over by chinese tourist and tour groups... and at times you have to fight against the throngs to get anywhere. I also get my photo taken quite a bit which is always a bit disconcerting but den is usually pretty quick to photo the perpetrator which doesn't put them off but at least they look a bit sheepish. shame it is so busy, not den's favourite. We catch, by chance some old women dancing at the square...they're all in traditional dress of blue skirt and apron with this thing on their back that protects and pad them when they carry their baskets. quite a few have their grandchildren tied to their backs while they dance! (its not very rigourous) Old men watch all of this, i suppose its their wives up there. A couple have a bit of a chuckle with den, they seem really friendly. One old boy walks past in full communism dress; the navy big coat with matching navy trousers, belt and brass buttons and finally the typical cap.
dinner is good and we go to MAMA NAXI's which is crazy busy and typical chinese in that there is a busker inside with his amp on FULL so you have to yell at eat other but the food was good...simple sweet and sour chicken.
