... gusts of wind almost strong enough to blow me into the ditch, I arrived at the lake and, frankly, was slightly underwhelmed. Having heard endless superlatives about the lake's beauty, I had expected great things. Still, it was nice enough, and biking around the villages and rapeseed fields was again fantastic, and it was a morning thoroughly well spent.

I had my last gulp and was feeling alot more confident and stepped out into the square to watch the start of the show. Bai women were wearing thier traditonal garments and dancing very beautifully. I turned my nervousness into laughter and practised my card trick which had only worked 1/2 the time. The suddenly... 'and now we will see the great magician from england ...

Hey Hey and a Big G'Day to you all, Woke feeling like death this morning. I had felt my energy levels falling since the night I fell asleep in Yangshuo with the aircon on full.
