Set off early for Tian Chi Lake with a Chinese tour group. No leg room on the bus, jammed in like sardines! We got to the cable car and I had to pay again for a ticket that I'd already paid for the night before (got it refunded later when I got back). Visibility was not that great, which sort of neutralized the whole point in making the trip. People everywhere milling around, taking pictures. On the way back, our bus stopped twice at places to get us to buy stuff. Overall, a complete waste of time and money.When I got back to the hotel and was waiting for the elevator, my Brazilian friend Renata, who had visited me in HK just prior to my trip, came bouncing up and gave me a big hug. Last I'd heard, she was in Xian, headed for Beijing, and she thought I was already back in HK. Needless to say, we were both stunned at bumping into each other!
