Day 9 - R&R in Guilin

It was time for another chill day, a day to rest ad recover.
After a sleep in, we went for a relaxing 10Km walk around the lake behind our hostel & the beautiful gardens. Admiring the many sculptures, obelisks, rocks with inscriptions and plants.
The lake contained quite a few bridges, each made of a different material and a different design, such as a glass suspension bridge and a traditional cement arch bridge. Each was beautifully constructed and had a significant story in Guilin history that was on display in the form of paintings and tiles on the side and underneath the bridges, making them very 3D and artistic.
After exploring we had worked up an appetite & a slight hangry attitude, we found a restaurant and ordered a couple of vegetarian meals and some coffee, unfortunately the coffee was more like frothy milk while the food was very bland and oily, nothing good music, a few beers and a few games of pool could'nt  fix back at the hostel!
All in all a great relaxing day
