Today I got up more positive than I felt last night! I did my colour on my hat, got rid of the white roots! Did my washing, as we are here for two days, and got showered. Then Khalid burst my happy bubble by telling me that we were not staying again, which meant that I have a bag full of wet washing! Aw well,
We set of in minibuses to look around the round houses. Yichang Earth Building is the oldest round house in Nanjing County. These old houses are quite impressive, and i like the whole community living idea. Although people still actually live there, it is spoilt by pure tourism, but you can't blame them. bought so much! I am now the proud owner of a Chinese tea set, various teas, and a painting! I'm not sure how the packing is going to work out!
In the afternoon we visited a local tea farm. It was interesting to see it from land to fork, or cup! We have had a guided your of the factory. the farm is really high up in the mountain. What a drive! I was petrified! After the factory we went for
a walk around the actual plantation. It was such a beautiful night. It turned into a bit of a hike. I had flip flops on, so struggled for a while, but it was so worth it! When we got back to the farm, the campsite was set up. Mr Liu had made such a good effort with the camp site. We have air beds to sleep on, dinner has been brought up, beer and soft drinks, ten out of ten for Mr Liu ?
The nigh continued to be a really good night out! We laughed from start to finish. We ended the night by playing a game called rape. It got a bit rough..... On the boys.... Go girls! Loved it. I am sharing with Laura again, we do get on really well! Camping on a tea Farm in Nanjing, China...... Incredible!
