Caves and Duvets

Wednesday 22nd November

 Today we went to see cave, and cave was actually really really good – I was plesently surprised. We were also taken around some Zen garden and shown some Chineese artwork – very interesting if you are into art. If I told you we went to see how duvets were made would you laugh? I give you permission to laugh. But these were silk duvets – my friend bought one but I was not prepared to backpack around the world with a silk duvet in my back pocket – so happily gave it a miss. Onwards and upwards as we journeyed to our next destination – panda land. DELAYED DELAYED DELAYED – Our plane to Pandaland was delayed – they said due to adverse weather conditions but I think it was due to big Olympic Panda escaping from the Panda centre and found trying to board the plane to Alice Springs in need of some hot sunshine but he had taken a nail file with him in his hand luggage and they were worried he was going to do some dammage to fellow passengers. We did finally arrive in Pandaland an hour or so later, to meet our guide also called “Helen”. Thank goodness she did have an off switch, she wasn’t in a Panda suit either. Hotel is standard Hotel – very much like the other one really but with harder beds but the broadband (which is not wireless but at least its broadband) is better than the last hotel. Time for some sleep…
