Rain rain go away

We've been in Yangshuo for the last 4 days, thinking that we were gonna spend a few days here relaxing and cycling around the town taking in the sights of the mountains and the river. Well we definitely got top scores for relaxing, but in terms of seeing the sights, we couldn't see any of it because of the looming cloud and fog that was ever present.

On our second day we decided to take a boat ride down the famous Li River. The scenery here is so famous that it's on the back of the 20 RMB bill. However, as we set out that day, we knew we wouldn't see much since it was raining and super foggy. We were let off at one point to take photos. The guys there tried to get us to buy photos that could be develop right away, but we took a look at the "beautiful" background and chuckled.

This is what it could look like:

This is what we saw that day:

But our time in Yangshuo was still enjoyable in that the food here was quite satisfying. Rice noodles are their speciality here, and we definitely ate ourselves silly with it. It's hard to resist when it's so cheap, and the 24 hour place right next to our hotel was uber convenient. Kevin also found his favourite post-meal place. A bakery that made really yummy egg tarts. So, even though we're leaving Yangshuo with our eyes wanting to see more, our full bellies are leaving satisfied.
