China- Yangshuo- XingPing Day 4

We had a good night sleep in our hostel.  Then headed out to rent scooters.  Wow.  What an adventure driving on the road in China.  So grateful for modern technology that allows us to have good map.  We cruised around the country side and loved every minute of it.  We drove to XingPing.  In 10 years this town will be huge but for now it was amazing and small.

Darren planned  a hike up Laozhai Hill, a 30 minutes intense climb.  Stairs straight up.  It was great.  We went to the top of a very tall mnt.  What a view.  We had it all to ourselves.  Kevin flew the drone and got some beautiful pictures.  After the hike we ate at a nice restaurant.  Everyone seemed pretty brave but me... I ate rice and noodles a lot!

This is the spot where the 20 yen was taken.  We jumped back on out scooters and headed out.  We had to cross the river on a little boat.  But it held us and 4 scooters.  Then the highlight... cruising through little towns and seeing the orchards.  Going on back roads covered in mud.  Following the GPS map down little alleys. 

We found a beautiful little bridge with bikes on it.  and went to an old famous bridge. And some signs were worse then others. ... this one was not yummy... show me a picture of a chicken and duck then show me a picture of them cooked and they are still looking at me!
