Ridiculous full day in Guilin. Took off on an early tour that would take us down the river on bamboo rafts, to an old village, feed water buffalo and among other things. But we lost our tour guide before we even got onto the first rafts. So we stood at the dock and tried to figure out how to get down the river but apparently the boats can't go down past 10:30. So we then had a rather questionable bus ride to the village and met up with the tour. After arriving in the second village we had our doubles bamboo raft rides, which seemed almost like a gondola type setup with the conductors using long bamboo poles to guide the boats down the river. Later we fed a giant water buffalo (obviously gets fed all the time by tourists). We had the tour bus drop us off at the night market which was pretty solid, but to be honest my feet were freezing and my shoes absolutely soaked so I wasn't the most gleeful there. We grabbed dinner and made it back in time to play some pool and get ready for the next day.
