detian waterfall

 

 In August 2007, we went on a weekend outing to Detian Waterfalls.

 

On the over-night bus.

 

 

 

 

The countryside reminds one of the Guilin area.

 

 

 

Detian village square.

 

 Looking down on the square from our hotel room.

 

A welcoming party was there to meet us.

 

When everyone who owns a camera needs a group photo,

busdrivers come in handy.

 

And then it was on to the falls.

Safety is a high priority. 

 

Patronizing the local tourism industry. 

 

The lady was in our tour group, and often the topic of discussion.

 

 Easy on the eye for the guys,

but a trifle too decadent for the liking of the gals.

 

Dinner looks good,

 

and tasted even better.

 

That evening,

we had to have a look at the border between China and Vietnam.

 

 

 

 

 

No problems with customs here. You just take the first available raft,

and you are on your way to Vietnam.

 

A nice Sunday breakfast.

 

That is if you don't look at the kitchen with a too critical eye.

 

Then some more sight-seeing in the area. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back on the bus. 

 

And safely home before daybreak on Monday morning.
