On our fouth day it literally rained all night and for most of the day in to the early afternoon! We spent the morning at the Giggling Tree playing games and watching a dvd. As the rain eased we decided to go in to Yangshou town itself to see the famous market and to buy some souvenirs.
We got dropped at one end of the town and began to walk through to the market. On the way we saw a delighful hotel which we wished we had picked to stay at!
It took longer than we expected to find the market and we kept wondering if we'd missed it. As we rounded the corner before it though there was no missing it!
William and Oliver chose themselves a delightful man on a bamboo raft each to take in to school for show and tell. Sam and I got some chopsticks and I bought a beautiful, locally made scarf. Sam and I got the chance to try out our Chinese while bargaining - although I nearly opened with an offer of £10 rather than £1!
