Greetings one and all,

So yesterday we went to the Shaolin Temple. Now the day didn't quite go as I had planned, we ended up on a tour of other scenic spots around the Shaolin Temple and didn't arrive there until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, bearing in mind that we left home at around 7.30 am and the temple is only 80 kms away. We had to change buses 3 times. I wanted to visit the pagoda forest and go up into the mountains but unfortunatly due to lack of time, the last bus leaves Shaolin at 6.00 pm, we only got to see the temple itself oh and the obligitory kung-fu show.

The temple itself is small and all fairly new. The temple itself was burned down in 1923 and most of the halls date from the 80s. There isn't anything spectacular inside the temple either it all was a bit of a let down for me, although Daniela enjoyed it very much but I think she enjoyed a day out in the mountains it made her feel at home.

So anyway we've been there now. So enjoy the photos and until next time

Jah Bless
