Postcard perfect Yangshuo.
The weather cleared up the next day and we went on to enjoy a handful of climbs over the remaining four days. Our days would begin with coffee session at the hotel (first decent brew of the trip), followed by some noodle-centric breakfasts and some tinkering with the scooters which seemed in need of convincing to start on most mornings. We’d then do a bit of climbing in the sweltering heat. Things would wind down with a swim in the Li River, a dinner (thanks for all the interesting places Ola), and 8-10 lbs of passion fruit and mangosteen for supper. This last one was a good call since Bali would have nothing of interest for us fruit-wise (wrong season).

Ola, Shirley, and one of the ladies selling water at the Moon Hill formation. She was so cute and so enterprising that we bought a couple bottles from her and could’ve probably been talked into investing in some ghost city real estate had the weather not been so shitty (Sept. 2016).
