We can climb up to ...

... is very welcome.<br><br>Low rise Gulang Yu is a complete contrast to Xiamen and looks a bit like a peninsular on the French mediterranean until you get close. There are many crumbling colonial mansions including an (ex) British consulate and similar for the US. Some of the buildings are lived in and some are in disrepair.

En route at some stage we stopped at a small market to pick up a few last minute supplies of various types of shellfish to take to contribute to her mother's dinner preparations.

... ticket was an unbelievable 45 Euro including all taxes, and I got myself a seat for same day departure. It was almost hard to leave, and even so suddenly, because the staff at the hostel treated me so nicely, I felt more like a family member visiting, which may sound unbelievable in a big and busy hostel. When I left, they called me a taxi and even the cleaner was waving bye bye outside. The day before I had asked her to take my laundry out of the dryer when it was ...
