Finally in Yangshuo
Well, we had a lovely but short time in Guilin; I'll tell you all about it later. We arrived in Yangshuo just a few minutes ago, and were disappointed to find that, despite a promise to the contrary, our hotel does not have high speed internet access in each room. I'm at an internet cafe just steps away, so It's not really that big of a deal.
I'm using one of the cafe's terminals, and everything is in Chinese; even the blogger.com menus are in Chinese. Thankfully, I've been to the site often enough, I shouldn't have much trouble.
The 5 hour cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo was spectacular. Yangshuo is unbelieveably beautiful -- dramatic karst peaks line the river, which runs through the town next to the main shopping street. I'll post pictures and more detailed descriptions later. I just wanted to check in and let everyone know where we are.
