This picture of Vicki was taken by the pool of humongous carp in the Garden of Humble Administrator. We think that given the garden is absolutely gigantic, the 'Humble' Administrator who had it built was probably not all that humble. Not very humble at all! It may be huge and elaborate, but it's also very very pretty though - lots of pools with water-lilies, bridges, pagodas, pavilions, and of course elegant trees and plants.
Gary emerging from a cave in the Garden of the Lion Rocks. you get an impression of the sort of labyrinthine nature of the place - all prettily arranged around a pool with the usual Chinese Pavilions...
More of Gary - this time in a very realistic alternate universe where he has grown taller than mountains. As you can see, there were really impressively realistic bonsai displays - this one with the strangely shaped rocks was especially good as it looked exactly like a miniature version of a (very pretty) mountain range.
Yet more ponds, water-lilies, trees, pavilions, and this time Vicki with a boat. I think get the idea! A nice town Suzhou, but just as well it didn't rain!
