The farmhouse restaurant just down the road a little further |
There were several people waiting around looking to take me to their restaurant just down the road a little further and so I followed an older woman who promised the best and cheapest food. But it turned out to be neither. I’m not exactly sure how I could avoid this issue but the big hotel served what looked like a nice lunch and it wasn’t too expensive. But none of the restaurants had an English menu anyway so maybe the big hotel would have been the way to go, not that I even ate any of it.
After my lunch I wondered around a little more and found out that in the winter they have skiing so maybe that’s something I will look at doing in winter, but that day I was tired and sun burnt, and it was time to go home.
I hopped on the little open air car that was across from the parking lot, paid my 11 yuan and they drove me back to the gate. From there I paid the same little open-aired car driver 3 yuan and they drove me right down to the little town where the 905 bus was waiting.
The day was over and I was a new man, even with a sun burnt face, skinned knee, and wet shirt, I was happy. Arriving back into the city center on the 600 bus I no longer minded the crowds or the noise; I had gotten some of that “fresh air” the others had talked about and it was wonderful – beautiful scenery, not that expensive, and actually getting out of the city. This could be a new leaf. I might get out more often, exercise a little more, and become a new me. Maybe I’ll even wake up earlier from now on.. well let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves…
