Friends Cafe, Canton Tower.and the Guangzhou bus tour


Hello Gentle Readers, on Sunday Robert, Lena and I decided to go all touristy in Guangzhou.

We had heard about the "Friends" TV show themed cafe and wearing our Thomson World Tour t-shirts we ventured off in search of Central Perk, Guangzhou.




We found it quite easily and yes it did look spookily like the cafe from the TV show. We wanted to sit on the big couch but when we got there a lady was hogging it.

We wanted burgers but they didnt have any so we had pizzas. Robert had spaghetti bolognaise.

When we left we made our way to the metro to find Canton Tower. Even on a Sunday afternoon the traffic was really busy.



We boarded the metro and travelled to Canton Tower. For those unaware, Canton tower is currently the 6th tallest building in the world. We did not go up thr 400+ metres this time but we will soon.




We enjoyed looking up from the bottom to the top and we had a nice iced smoothy.

Lena spotted the tour bus and for the remarkably low price of 60 yuan we climbed aboard and enjoyed a trip around the city. We didnt do the full tour just a third so we decided that soon we will return and do the rest.

Below are some highlights.









The bus tour ended with us back at the Canton tower after sunset and as you can see the building is truly spectacular at night.
