Chinese ''Tamal''

Charles ate some kind of Pork meat in the middle of a rice ball, wrapped in some kind of Mais leaf. Wasn't delicious, but was worth a try.

This was absolutely great! For 18eur you get a all-you-can-eat buffet. Soup, Salad, Sea food, Sushi, Pork, Beef, Duck, choice is wide, o don't hesitate to take your time. You can also get a fresh fish, and ask the Chef to cook it for for you. And when you think you had enough, you still make some extra room for dessert! All of this having the best view you can have of the city. Simply a great moment.

West Lake Walk

There's no beter way to appreciate fully Hangzhou than walking around this lake. Panorama is amazing. It's good exercise too. Was around 3 hours walk.

Sort of Bakery house. We thought we'll have same quality as cafe 85 Cº but it was far from it. So we wouldn't recommend it.

Train Station

We wanted to purchse two tickets to go straight to Hong Kong, so we had a GOOD walk from hotel to Station. We found out that trains departed from Shaghai only.

Charles ate a extraordinary steak. It couldn't match the South African one, but still was a good competitor because it was helped by his friend -Foie Gras- ; D We definitly recomend it.

McDo Brunch

Around 11h we went to the McDoalds to get some food. Adeline chose the pancakes and Charles a Burger of course.

Nice Hotel, with a panoramic restaurant on top of it. Well situated, only hundred meters from the West Lake, you can even see the water show from there.

Well, taxi is so cheap we didn't care taking it once or twice. But Hangzhou is not so big, so you can walk or rent a bycicle.

Adeline se sens toujours mal, il faut croire qu’on ne se débarrasse pas de la grippe mexicaine aussi facilement. Du coup, on décide de se la jouer relax à Hangzhou et de profiter du grand et magnifique lac pour y faire une longue balade de 3h. Il ne fait pas très chaud mais on est bien couverts et ça fait vraiment du bien d’être un peu a l’air frais et d’admirer les paysages naturels après le chaos de la ville de Shanghai. On décide d’essayer de combattre le mal par le mal et on va manger au resto panoramique au dernier étage de l’hôtel en espérant qu’un bon repas sain aidera a la guérison d’Adeline. C’est délicieux, les prix sont raisonnables, on y a une superbe vue et la nourriture (principalement des fruits de mer) est fraîche et préparée minute. Pour faciliter la digestion, on retourne au lac et on y admire le plus beau spectacle de son, eau et lumière qu’on aie vu depuis longtemps (il entre en concurrence avec celui de Barcelone). Au moment d’acheter nos billets de train de retour pour Hong Kong, on est ‘’informes’’ (autant qu’on peut l’être considérant les problèmes de communications) qu’il n’y a pas de train direct de Hangzhou a Hong Kong et qu’il faut repasser par Shanghai. On achète donc directement nos billets pour Shanghai .
