Yangshuo & birthday

Well I turned 29 last week and a celebration was had in chinaclimb the day before on Saturday the 8th.
As per tradition in china a fair amount of cake ended up in my face, and their was a large quantity of alcoholic beverages consumed which led to something of a hangover but fortunately the only work i was required to do was to head to Xinping Sunday night in preparation for a school group from Hong Kong who we have spent the past week trekking climbing and Kayaking with.

Today again is my rest day and i intend to do as little as possible (mostly catch up on some reading) but will no doubt be out climbing most of the coming week.
China and Yangshuo are starting to grow on me and iv been having a great time in this land of Karsts. with a bit of luck i can even get out to look at a few new routes over the coming weeks and perhaps even lose the belly that appears to have grown over the Xmas and New Year periods. I hope everyone is having as much fun as me this year and thanks for all the birthday wishes.
