Day 11 Day Trip to Wuzhen

We have a date with the train ticketing office tomorrow so needing only 1more day to complete Hangzhou,we did a trip to the Venice of China.
Our Hostel is very central and the bus stations are not so this meant a 40min taxi (60yuan) to the east bus station fairly new and extremely well set up to take masses of people. Much to our amusement once all were on board the ticket collector took their green & red flags, their whistle to direct the bus out of the park green flag goes out with final go whistle. Sounds logical & helpful to the driver but very funny to watch! The comfortable bus took 1.5hrs (27yuan).
Wuzhen is a small town with a protected area either end of the town each having their central canal with houses & shops built along the edge. See pics.
A case of the man flu had been brewing for a number of days but hit me good today. Given it was probably 20deg warmer than Haerbin you'd think we'd be happy but it's felt very cold walking about today.
