I woke up early, got some fruits from my fruit lady and hopped on the bike to pedal towards the mountains...
Me and Vee planned to do some hiking in the Fragrant Hills, but we had to change our plans a bit. Since she lives further away, we met at a subway station to take a bus from there to the hills, but - oh my god. Since it is a Sunday and a public holiday (Tomb Sweeping), EVERYONE was there. We stood like 50 minutes in the line at the bus stop and then it was announced that the buses will stop temporarily... so ugh, we just though since the Summer Palace is around the corner, we might as well just go there.
It was crowded as well - very crowded. But then again, it was amazing and beautiful! It's the sakura time of the year after all! We walked around the lake, climbed some hills, had a picnic with bananas and biscuits, climbed some more rocks, ate baozi on a stick and took billions of photos with locals upon request (and felt like celebrities lol).
Ugh, so much activity for today, I'm sure I'll sleep like a rock tonight!

Täna ärkasin vara, käisin puuvilja putkas puuvilju ostmas ning hüppasin ratta sadulasse, et vändata mägede suunas. Plaanisime Tautvilega minna Fragrant Hills'idesse matkama, aga pidime veits ümberkorraldusi tegema. Kuna ta elab minust kaugemal, tuli ta kokkusaamispunkti metrooga, kust oleksime pidanud edasi bussiga mägedesse sõitma. Aga noh, kuna tegemist on pühapäeva ja riigipühaga (Hauapühkimispüha), olid KÕIK tulnud sarnase mõtte peale. Seisime umbes 50 minutit bussipeatuses järjekorras, kuniks tuli mingi ruuporiga tegelane ja hüüdis, et bussid lõpetavad ajutiselt liikumise. Ehh. Kuna Suvepalee oli sealsamas ümber nurga, suundusime hoopis sinna.
See oli samuti ülerahvastatud. Samas, seal oli meeletult ilus! Sakura aeg ju! Jalutasime järve ääres, ronisime treppidest ja küngastest üles, pidasime banaanide ja küpsistega piknikku, ronisime veel mingitel kaljudel, sõime pulga otsast pisikesi baozi'sid ning tegime kohalikega mustmiljon pilti, kuna nad nii väga soovisid (ja tundsime end staaridena hah).
Huh, nii palju tegemist oli täna, vajun ilmselt väga vara ära täna õhtul.
