I knew that if this was a task for a<br>pre-school class in England it would be a big ask as it was a lot of<br>fine motor work. The class all got out their pencils without a fuss<br>and to my amazement most of this class of 4 yr olds coloured their<br>heart in and were able to use scissors to cut out the heart.

The sea had got quite rough and the waves where quite high coming up onto the sand and the speed boat couldn't stay close. 5-6 men where trying to hold it in place as they expected us to walk through the crashing waves with our bags and climb into the boat. Seeing that we where quite hesitant and the water quite high they had the idea of putting a ...

Hi All! Well, we have now left China and have arrived safely in Vietnam.<br><br>First things first, i'm melting in this country. Ok!

We failed to see the draw of these places as their prices are no better than regular restaurants. Because my Chinese visa required 5 working days to process we decided to book a tour of Halong Bay through our hotel, again on the advice of the guide book. Over the weekend we departed on a small bus for Halong Bay, to return Monday afternoon before departing for China on Tuesday.
