Well, It's 10:30 PM on Thursday and we finally found a computer that can access blogger.
Unfortunately we have to be back to our boat by 11:00 so this is going to be a short post. The pictures look a little strange on this computer though so we might have to repost later on...anyway...
We spent the last couple days exploring the central city of Chengdu, which is famous for its Tibetan quarter and its pandas.
A shot of one of the older fellows. The place we visited was a breeding grounds and it had around 200 or so pandas.
These guys have the right idea. Their whole life is just sitting, sleeping, eating...repeat. It's a good gig if you can get it.
A group of 10 or so baby pandas. This filled up my daily quota of cuteness and I had to skip the kitten t-shirt factory that the rest of the group visited later in the day.
Jo holding a red panda (looks strangely like the offspring of a raccoon and a panda that had a little too much wine for dinner). It should be noted that mere seconds after this photo was taken it attacked and now Jo has but one eye.
A shot of Jo and I in front of one of the many airplane hanger-like homes of the terracotta warriors.
A closer shot for you viewers at home.
The famous Bell Tower of Xian at night.
Jo and I in front of the massive 70 meter Buddha statue in Leshan. (Jo's note: Shayne can finally say he's seen the biggest of something in the world) (Shayne's note: hooray!)
Jo showing her support for both the Buddha and world peace.
Well, we're off to spend three days exploring the Yangtze so we probably won't be posting for a little while.
Cheers
Shayne
