Hangzhou

We are in Hangzhou now

Went to visit a temple in the West Lake area

 

 

people walk around with masks

this is the original temple which was destroyed and rebuilt

our laundry came back perfectly pressed, even the underwear!

they like their hot drinks 

lactic acid bacteria is yogurt :)

 at this restaurant there are no menu's you scan the code and the menu appears on
your cell phone and you order.

This was a beautiful hotel room

they had a cake for Michael which was delicious, not sweet at all, just whipped

cream and yummy cake 

 

 

 

privacy please!

incense in our room

always a pot tea around
 

 

 this little kit came with the room

 got back to our room for more cake! 

our laundry is so beautifully packaged, they even ironed Michael's underwear!
