hangzhou tea capital

We motored on to a larger city, know for a longevity tea dragons well.
Took us til luchtime to get to our restaurant and meet mandy#2 NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH1.
The restaurant could have been good, but the staff were slow and stupid. We were cranky and probably tired too.
Once again getting closer to shanghai and away from schewan food makes it on the sweeter side.
We found this city to be pretty, according to marco polo beautiful and magnificant in the world.
Ah yes, we drive to a huge local park and walk to west lake, with boats, hoping against hope we aren't boarding one!
Well we do, a 20 minute cruise along the lake, people will get on and off as well, one end of the park to the other.
It was in the 40s, no breeze and we board this thing. Carly of course became an instant celebrity having her pic taken by many people.
Beautiful smiling white girl.
Next activity is the yellow dragon cave and the dragon well tea ceremony.
It wasn't very interesting as we really scored with our other tea ceremony in chongquing, however what really capped it was when asked if we wanted to buy this overpriced tea, eddie the chinese
Looking grandpa tells her he drinks a better cheaper tea from indonesia found in oklahoma.
She promptly left the room.
Dinner was early, good but the whole fresh water fish, tasted fishy and with head intact we declined.
Hotel good, showered and since only cnn was on other channels all in chinese, hit the hay @ 10.
