And then came the waterfall...like in the movies...had to go through it...it was a real windy day...water splashing..getting the clothes wet and soooo cool!!!
Our Australian friend that we met during the hike. For Latvians who know Spriditis - this is the image of him in my mind = happy traveller with his hat and a small bag looking for adventures :)
And while the rest of the team took a hard climb up...I decided to take it easy and went downhill to take the easy road (that actually most hikers take) and enjoy the scenery on my own :)
The Gorge!
Wallnut garden!
Children. No better way to stop hurt child`s crying than getting him/her up and offering to make a photo :)
And after reuniting with the rest of the team in Wallnut garden Sean`s guesthouse cafe...some lunch and by SMS reccomendation of Canadians that had left a couple hours ago...we arranged the car to take us to the Ferry to cross Yangzte river (it turned out that was a 10 km drive and we didn`t have time, nor will to hike it) and to make it back to Lijiang same night...
Some of those things were not meant to happen...
The road was all in construction works...and we were forced to wait several times for the road to be cleaned by excavator.. It took us roughly 1 h to make those 10 km by car and then 20 min hurried hike down to the river on foot...
...so when we exausted made it to the river of Yangzte....no boat...waited some more...asked nearby construction workers to call to the boat guy...they did & told the boat will come...then after some waiting the guy came to tell it will not ...
...and then in darkness we took our hike uphill...took some time to find road there...found village...found "hotel"...and probably the "best ever WC"...no comment..
Looking back that definitely seems like an adventure!
Back then that was one hard sleepless night!
