Baohua Harbour View Hotel Haikou

... any more and we had ran out way before we even made it back to a shop. we took 4 litres and it lasted 4 hours

There was no shelter on the beach to escape from the roaring sun so we built a sun shade from coconut leaves.The sea was like walking into a warm bath, it would of been nice a tad cooler.
We then made a fire to cook our noodles, by this time of today the water we carried was already boiling so i wondered if the heat form the bottled water would cook the ...

... got up in the dark the morning of New Years Eve & headed off to Wuhan airport for the 1st leg of my journey. As there were no direct flights to Malaysia from Wuhan, I flew to Haikou which is the capital of Hainan (a tropical island at the southern tip of China). I sat next to a very young couple who had just got married & were flying to Hainan for their honeymoon. Just when I was feeling all lovey-dovey for them, I looked over to see a woman staring at me like I was from outer space ...

Huoneessani oli kaksi ihmista Mark austraaliasta ja joku Hollantilainen tytto joka lahti aika pian Sanyalle. Tytto sanoi etta taalla ei ole mitaan mielenkiintoista kun kysyin etta miksi lahdet sinne. Totesin saman ihan itsekkin. En loytanyt rantaa paikasta ollenkaan. Eika muutenkaan ollut oikein miaan nahtavaa paikassa. Joten paatin itsekkin kokeilla Sanyaa seuraavana paivana. Otin paivalla pienet torkut. Kun herasin Mark kysyi etta kiinnostaisiko ...

We are arriving in Haikou with our minds full of interesting and beautiful memories from the landscape around the highway. Here we are meeting Ella and her friend from the Company, Jessie, who also speaks English. In a hall with many computers employees are working with different tourist project in contact with many countries. Most of them are young girls in intensive work,everyone with a smile on her face. I am very glad to meet Ella after two years as her ...

We arrive in Haikou in the wee hours, with our meeting set at 8:00 AM the next morning. We are staying at the Sheraton Resort. The Chinese call this place the Hawaii of the East. It is beautiful, although our first day is very overcast. We held our meeting in the Hainan Hotel, walking distance, and were served an elegant lunch at a huge round table ...

We did go to another beach in Sanya. We walked through a very nice Sheraton hotel to the beach they had in the back. We didn't stay very long, mainly just took some pictures. It was beautiful. The water was very clear, like pictures of Hawaii. There was also lots of palm trees and pretty flowers. Now I'm on a very bumpy road. We stopped a few minutes ago to eat. I had some kind of duck and fish and chicken ...

We arrived in Hainan and one of the ways Sineerat's family had been told to recognize us was by looking for an American girl. At least my whiteness comes in handy. There is a number of them that came and we went in two cars to a restaurant. I ate as much as I possibly could and didn't stop chewing the entire time. They served me so much! Cucumber with vinegar, chicken, fish, peanuts, rice ...

... The principal and some staff take me to "Huo Shan" - Fire mountain, Hai Kou's largest volcanic mountain. (Actually this is the chinese term for volcano as well) Under a beautiful tropical rotunda, we have a great lunch of goat hot-pot and a few beers. Once again, I get to eat stewed goats head. This time I get an eye and some tongue. How ****en metal's that! \m/ \m/ During the lunch, the principal comes out with a classic that I'm sure I'll never ...

... any of the moves. It was definately an interesting day, to put it mildly. Thinking I would only have 1 or 2 lines was a big mistake. 'Twas a big day indeed. A difficult day. Like I said, I had to learn many lines in Chinese. The English lines often didn't make any sense. "Last scene" ended up being about 4 or 5 scenes. When I thought we were finished, the script would be thrust in my face ...

Sono tornato in cima all'isola, sperando di dover passare qui solo una notte. Domani cerchero di spostarmi in direzione Hong Kong. Per il resto niente novita...Ho passato un bel periodo a Sanya (al sud dove c erano le spiagge), l ultimo giorno sono andato a vedere l isola delle scimmie: bella, si puo girare e vedere le scimmie libere, ma poi c e anche il centro dell isola dove fanno spettacoli per i visitatori e li le maltrattano. Daro mie notizie quando saro a Hong Kong... saluti a tutti
