Our stay in Yuyao was pretty sumptious. Our hosts
were treating us like kings, with banquets twice a day plus a full 5
star breakfast. So why did I lose weight? probably for the same reason
that I didn't see any fat people in China. The diet is full of protein
with little fat or carbohydrate. Not to everybody's taste though.
Snails, lots of fish, prawns, turtle, birds nest soup and interesting
creatures of the deep that were still wriggling as they were brought to
the table.
Meanwhile, here is one of the Pagodas near the
entrance to the Zoo.

The small zoo had some pretty sad
characters in cages which were not exactly spacious.
I think both theses specimens would
rather have been elsewhere.

Secure...
a view of the city and the hills beyond.
The signs are tourist friendly which is good news for
the likes of myself
A group of gentlemen gathered for a chat.
These were the lasers which played the night sky that
I had seen the previous night.
