Day 16 - Guilin

On Day 16 we drove back to Guilin where I finally got around to taking a picture of a person in a conical hat. I also realized that I should have stopped more during our bike tour to take pictures of people working their rice fields but such revelations always seem to happen the day after.
In Guilin we saw Elephant Trunk hill, the symbol of the city, before grabbing lunch at a restaurant with a great view. Like most of our meals in China the food was beyond excellent and the servings enough to feed a small army. After lunch we stopped by China Odyssey Tours to visit our travel agent. It was really nice to meet the people who helped make our trip become a reality.
In the afternoon we visited the Reed Flute Cave which is a nearby limestone cave with lights added to create some beautiful scenes. My imagination ran so wild in the cave that I swore I could see a discarded coke bottle balancing up high until our flashlights proved it was just another rock (possibly making our guide think I am crazy). In the evening we caught a flight to Shanghai where we were welcomed with a free upgrade to a business suite.
