Relaxed easy day today, recovering from 22 hours in transit yesterday. The weather is cool and wet with unrelenting drizzle all day. 

After sleeping in and a leisurely breakfast I walked under the umbrella for 4 hours, covering some familiar ground, but noting the appearance and disappearance of businesses. In a back street I found an excellent fresh food market with all sorts of live seafood and amphibians, meat, eggs, fruit and veg. Would be handy if I had a kitchen.

Had lunch at a little eatery, 12 RMB (about $2) for more than I could eat spicy chicken, tofu, beans, celery, cauliflower and rice.

Taking advantage of the wifi in my room to study Mandarin and stay out of the rain for the afternoon.

The pagoda in the picture is in a heavily builtup area with elevated motorway on the left and shops all around, in a spot I’ve been many times at night and never noticed it before.
