This morning we went to the Dragon pool park and on our way around exploring we were brought into a little house and given a lecture by the Dongba. He is one of only 7 left in the world. Head of the Naxi tribe. Much nicer than the Nazi’s I must say. We got tea and all. Then he tried to sell us some paper that he had written on. Too pricey for our budget….and completely shite! Rice paper with a drawing of a horse. A 7 year old child with no arms would have done better. He’s some business man. 
We got on the 3.00 bus that would bring us to the entrance of the tiger leaping gorge. This is a trek we were going to take on. At the start of the trail is a place called Jane’s guesthouse. That’s where we stayed for the night before the long walk.
Jane greeted us at the gate and instantly took a shine to me. She had very good English but poor Jane needed a shave more than I did! Her jumper could have done with a soak in a bowl of Vanish Oxy action too. And her teeth….well, there was one and that didn’t look like it was going to stay put for much longer. All in all she was lovely!Jane made us a cracking good meal while the insane grandmother of the house tried to sell us random stuff behind Jane’s back. Flashlights, plates, plants, you name it, she had it. Totally insane!
