A day in the hills
We have now had three trips to Liming, or Laojun Shan national park, and each time we go there the beautiful scenery just takes my breath away. On previous trips we were out in the hills every day, but on this most recent trip with my heavy belly I often stayed in the village to rest. So they days when I did feel up to going outside I enjoyed it even more than I did in the past.
I also really enjoyed seeing all the odd little sights that we often take for granted out in the Yunnanese countryside. Strange and interesting ways of making irrigation channels, beehives and water throughs for animals somehow keep their novelty factor even after all these years.
One day I went out with Pete and Tom to where they planned to climb and I spent a lovely morning drinking in the peace and beauty around me. As I sat against the cliff face I could see a sea of red and black peaks stretch into the distance, with Laojun Shan snow mountain sparkling in the distance.
I of course also had another one of my long pregnancy naps, this time I even took my thermarest mattress with me up the hill. Pete and Tom took turns carrying my bag with my stuff up the hill for me, something I could get used to for sure!
Isn’t it just gorgeous out there?!
