Vacation day Two!









OK, so today was definitely an adventure! This morning we woke up and took an hour bus ride to go white water rafting. But it isn't just the normal white water rafting and that you would think… This is China style! So we got in a two person raft, and have no idea what was ahead. At least we had helmets and a life jacket… But we floated down the river and then they released the water and we shot down a huge drop off. The water was so fast and the bottom was rocky, but Lily and I laughed our heads off the entire time! We were literally floating down a Chinese jungle, the views were so amazing. I wish that everyone was able to see them. We were surrounded by green everywhere, it literally felt like a dream. But then every time we hit a huge bump we would wake up from it haha. We were rafting for about an hour, then headed back into the city.

After this, we took another short bus ride and then walked about 3 miles to get to mud caves! The first part of the tour was in a normal cave, there were LED lights everywhere and it was pretty amazing! Our Chinese tour guide was walking so very fast so it felt like we were jogging through the cave. At one point there was a giant sculpture that looked like a frog and he told us to kiss it and it would turn into a prince....kissed it and it didn't work hahah. After that section, we got to a giant mud pool! It was the weirdest sensation because we were able to float in the mud… They were also a couple slides and it was really fun. A bunch of tourists were walking by and they took our picture at every opportunity that they could. After this part, we walked down a little bit and there were hot springs! The water was coming right out of the cave wall, burning hot and it was so relaxing! After that we thought it was ending but there were fish tanks to get fish pedicures! Let's just say we only lasted about 30 seconds because we didn't like all the fish sucking on our feet haha. At least we can say we did it! 

That was the end of our tour that day and we ended the night with some pizza and paparazzi, we ate outside and everyone was taking our picture, they love us here! And WE LOVE THEM
