Walnut - Blogabond

Sky ladder! A scary ladder that is about 3 stories high at an angle of 89 degrees, or almost vertical. The rungs are a reach even for me and my long legs. How does the typical Chinese do it? At least the treads are deep. Now I can say I did it.

Back at Tina's level we decide to have an easy horse back riding afternoon. The trail we want to do is called the Bamboo Forest. It is suppose to be a highlight of the Tiger Leaping Gorge experience. First we are told 'no can do' because of the Bridges & wind - not safe for horses. We end up at a very pleasant looking Tibet Guesthouse for lunch. We inquire about horses again. Sure, they can take you through the Bamboo Forest & back to Tina's. Perfect!

No could do. The Bridges & wind really didn't allow. We ended up going through Walnut Garden to a very nice look-out high above the gorge. Sure wish I had seen walnut cakes on one of the menus.
