For our first weekend excursion we went to the lovely Hangzhou, located in Zhejiang province. The city's magnificent West Lake is one of the main attractions for tourist folks like us. We must have climbed at least 3 different pagodas. After ascending the one that had an elevator, I wanted to choke our guide for taking us to the one with raggedy stone stairwells!! I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the relative peace from the Shanghai hustle and bustle.
In the pictures above, we are with our camp buddies in a local garden (I cant remember the name right now) :0 Despite the fact that there are no loud rides or fancy attractions in this garden, the kids loved it! We spent well over an hour climbing stone dragons, drinking fresh spring water and crossing streams barefoot. A place like this makes it easy to ignore the fact that there are hundreds of people around you in every direction (sigh).
