Day 40 – Yangshuo rainy bike tour

Today the weather is a bit cloudy and we decided to go for a nice bike tour to one of the famous nature view points here, the moon hill. So we rented two bikes, one tandem for Martijn and Charlotte and a normal one for Manu and went on our way.

The Giggling Tree provided nice tour guides in the form of a photo book, so you basically just follow the pictures and hope you arrive at some point :o) Due to the recent flooding some of the smaller roads were a bit muddy, but all together the tour until the moon hill was really nice.

After we arrived at the moon hill we bought the entrance ticket, parked our bikes and went for lunch in the nearby restaurant. And that was a lucky call, as soon as we were seated it started raining. First a bit, then really hard.

Due to the rain and a bit of a bad tempered daughter we decided not to go up the mountain and instead bought 3 overpriced ponchos and biked back to the hotel. After a few minutes the rain got worse again and we were soaked up to the bones, but you know how it is, you get a kind of laughing atmosphere.

All together the tour was quite nice, wenn you just ignore the rain 😉
