Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Guangzhou

Left good old Dongguan at 10:30 Sunday morning and took the train to Guangzhou (pronounced "gwangjo") also known as Canton, I guess most people will know this name. 30 minutes later arrived at Guangzhou east station.
I have to say that the city is a much nicer place than Dongguan, is much older and has more history, we decided to get lunch at 1:30 and ended up sitting in the restaurant until 4:30, technical problem with the order !!!! Walked around for a while and then took a boat trip along the Pearl river, this was the highlight of the day, see pics.

Quite impresive along the Pearl river at night.




After boat trip (1.5 hours), had coffee and caught train home. Good part was we got off at the wrong station, "funny don't recognise this place", we said, anyway managed to get another train 15 minutes later, Dennis was not amused when we got to Dongguan, also stopped for petrol and the filler cap door would not open !!! poor old Dennis not his day.
Back later,
Song for the day : Down to the river to pray, Alison Krauss and Union Station.
I love this song, if you don't know it find a copy, beautiful song.
