The end of the road, as it were, a day trip with Sandi to Hangzhou, a small city with a tourist destination of a beautiful lake, mostly surrounded by beautiful hills (albeit not on the level of Guilin), with things to do and buy. We walked two causeways going about one-third across the lake. Donna, Shayna and I took a grossly underpowered boat onto a restricted area of the lake for half an hour, giving Shayna another opportunity to skipper a ship (last being when we busted loose in Peoples' Park in Chengdu).
Ended up at an early dinner in the Hyatt, which had a restaurant where Sandi wanted to eat but which did not open that early. We then tried to shlep back to the train station, Donna stopped to buy food for two little child-beggars and their "responsible adult". Couldn't quite find and make it to the station, ended up cabbing about six blocks... but we were fried....
Returned to the Galaxy and Donna went online to make reservations for San Francisco and even managed to get a few hours of sleep....
