East Palace Xiamen

Xiamen was a typical Chinese city. It was not very interesting really. About the only exciting thing that happened took place in a local department store. We were on the third floor looking for a few things that we needed back on the ship, and Cub couldn't find a bathroom. We must have asked a half dozen store clerks and none ...

... reason given that it is very hot and humid back at the coast, the swimming pool is closed because it is Autumn. Evening meal was an interesting experience; we tried to find a place Nancy had recommended but were not sure, ended up in a nice place called Noodles with a menu totally in Chinese but with pictures. Mimi ended up with the largest bowl of noodles you ever saw and I chose a set meal because I thought that would be easy - but still had to choose the protein ...

After a 3 hour drive along the coast into Fujian province, we arrive in another Special Economic Zone - Xiamen. This one's a little different in that it was previously the treaty port of Amoy and there is a small island offshore called Gulang Yu which was a colonial concession

The drive to Xiamen is a good one and crosses a series of mountain ranges and rivers that run down to the South China Sea. Some of these are limestone and many are uplifted plutonic granite, in great pink ...

... At some stage I also ended up eating a pig's foot that was offered to me and couldn't be refused, mmm, pretty much just a load of fat surrounding a bone! As an outside guest it seemed that people were even more keen to force food upon me and other members of the family seemed to be more successful at insisting that they were definitely full than I managed so I ended up almost unable to move. For dinner itself there were 13 of us all crouching on ...

... apart but I had gone too far to step back now. Hangzhou airport was a surprise too, I expected a dimly lit hall with three airplanes departing daily but it was a huge, busy airport with a very interesting cathedral-shaped roof and could be entered into any airport design contest. Ninety minutes later I was in the deep south, it was warm, no wind, and when I walked around long after dark to get some dinner, wearing a T-Shirt and no jacket, I knew I had done something right.

We ordered some and a couple of other excellent dishes. Why bother with hotel buffets ...
