Hi All,

This is the 4th time I've tried to do this blog!!

We had a great day wandering aroung this big temple. After a 2 hour bus ride from Chengdu we tool a pedicab to the temple, which was great fun. Inside the temple is a lovely hall full of arhats, buddists saints, and me and Dany always try and find our favourites. I like the monk with the extremely long eyebrows and the one with a super long arm whereas Dany likes the Milefo esc monk surrounded by children. I'm going to have to find out what they did. Unfortunately, as in most buddist temples they don't like photos being taken of the statues, no photos of those but olts of others. We bought a new camera, as the battery in our other gave up the ghost and we couldn't find a replacement in Chongqing, and boy is it easy to use and it takes some great photos. It even does great photos in bad light.
After lunch in the restaurant we had tea in the teahouse and played cards and relaxed.

A really lovely day and a beautiful and peaceful temple.

Enjoy the photos Jah Bless
