Travel to China, Henan, Zhengzhou.


Big day today, We have lots to do, and it will all be physically challenging! I have been dreading this walk! We are going to watch the Shaolin Monks perform in their performance area in the Shaolin Temple area.

We got mini buses to the main area, then that is the end of being spoilt. We set of for the performance. It was unbelievable. They are so graceful, yet so strong, and some are very young. The school has about 8000 students being taught Kung Fu there. Fabio and Gloria went on a volunteers, they both did really well. Fabio won! After the performance we set off for Dharma cave where a nun has been living and meditating for four years. It is wwaaaaaaayyyyyyy up towards Wuru Peak on Song Mountain. It was such a hard hike. Probably my hardest ever! I was soooo pleased that I actually made it up there. If Jason hadn't have come back for me I don't think I would have made it! Bless him!

When I got to the. Cave, I just about collapsed on the nuns bench! I ate some bread that I had prepared earlier, had a drink, then I came round! I then carried on to the top of the mountain where the Dharma statue is. It was so high up I felt giddy!
