  Nanjing, Jiangsu, China
Sunday, October 21, 2012

Today woke at 5, left at 7, went to Nanjing on 3 buses, it was again hot.
Rushi, the phd student accompanied me to Zĭjīnshān where there are so many historical sites.

first we climbed the mountain - so many steps - and it was sooooo hot. then we went to see the historical sites.




I may update this blog entry later but for now i am so tired - i have so many pics - it has taken me ages to sort and upload and title them all (which i have to do to save them on here) so bye for now - hoe you enjoy x
