    Silk Weaving

    First stop today is silk weaving shop. We bought . Our lunch stop restaurant was excellent with A+ restrooms. Fish soup was delicious. At our next stop we sampled coffee and tea grown locally- jasmine, lotus and artichoke teas tasted. Best exercise of the day was walking across the Langa River Bridge where we watched riverboats and houseboat barges including families and pets float by.
