We had breakfast overlooking the stunning views and, on the recommendation of our host, scrapped our canoeing plans for a trip to the Cango Caves.
It was a longer drive than we expected (1 1/2 hours) but it took in some spectacular scenery and we even got to see our first baboons. Even better, on the other side of the mountains it was a beautiful clear day.
We chose to do the 'adventure' tour - a longer walk through the caves with some obstacles in the way.
The early caves are enormous - apparently they used to hold concerts here and seated 1,000 people. Off the main track we had to squeeze, clamber and scrabble through some pretty tight spots - the worst being the Devil's Chimney (always have to get Beelzebub in there with these things) - a tight 3m-ish clamber up some very slippery rocks. It was more adventure that I've come to expect from these things (in a good way) I just hope the bruises on my knees subside before the wedding.
More spectacular seafood for tea at The Girls - I need to learn how to cook squid like that.
