And the adventures begin .....: Mystery Tour ..

So my new best friend jen a fellow teacher is amazing at researching and cleverly planned us all a mystery tour , which i was very excited about as i love surprises. We had to wake up early to go get a bus , we still had no idea where we were going but i was like a child all giddy and fidgety in the back in of the bus with dave he just kept laughing how excited i was . i think i got too excited and fell asleep on dave he was a fabulous pillow :). the bus journey wasn't the best journey ever , we ended up being stuck in horrendous traffic which consisted off us being stationary for around 1 hour with every vechile beeping it was mental so annoying woke me up from my nap , the police car got stuck behind us and had their sirens on which were extremely loud unfortunately we couldn't move so we had that noise blaring in our ears. when we went eventually arrived at our location i knew where we were i had researched this area before i came out as its the top thing to do in shijiazhuang i was tres excited . We arrived at the Cangyan Mountains famous for its combination of natural mountain scenery with historical man-made structures. The Cangyan Mountains were used as a setting for filming in some scenes in the movies Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon. It was so beautiful mesmerising , it was cheap to get in because me and james used our students cards cheeeeky ! we had to climb for a while got very sweaty , but the views from the top were so worth it. i was very brave and made sure i took the experiences of going to the edge or to the heights possible point despite the fact that i am scared of heights . it was a great day out had so much fun and was great to get out of the city and be in tranquility and see some natural beauty. the pictures don't justify the views but you will get the idea . Enjoy xx
