Trasure Island Hotel - Haikou

... Even though it was cloudy the air was hot.

Hainan is a great place to visit, we had not met anyone that was going, or had been here, but we are very glad we made the trip, banana hostel was great, as said good rooms, and lots of common area, pool, ping pong, peter and his wife are very helpful and the place is always full of his mates which makes it nice and social, not that many travelers there, but always someone to chat with. defo highly recommended.

... 7 week trip! I was pleased with myself that I found my 1st hostel, the Haikou Banana Hostel, & bonus they were able to switch my room to one with a western-style toilet (pretty much the last one that I'd see for the whole trip). I didn't get to see much of Haikou at all. I just explored my immediate area, found some yummy food & then rested up for another morning flight the next day. The fact that it was New Years Eve kinda passed me by. In spite of Haikou being the capital, most ...

... ottaa kontaktia auton kanssa. Ja voin sanoa etta siina jai jalankulkija toiseksi. Mark heraili vasta kun olin tullut lenkilta. Olin hyvissa ajoin valmis ennen hanta. Joten minulle jai aikaa kirjoitella blogia aulassa. Kyllahan se Mark sielta sitten tuli ja paastiin matkaan. Katsoimme hostellin ilmoitustaululta etta bussilla 18 paaseen bussi asemalle. Bussi 18 kulki noin puoli kilometria hostellistamme. Raahauduimme sinne matkalla ...

We are arriving in Haikou with our minds full of interesting and beautiful memories from the landscape around the highway.

I am very glad to meet Ella after two years as her ...

... barely touched even by the Chinese with us.), and of course lots of vegatable dishes. A couple dishes were decorated with sculptured carrots; a deer and an eagle. We took a walk on the hazy beach and checked out the grounds of our resort that afternoon. Dinner was at a club with a live show. We were warned that the dancers would probably drag us ...

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 ...

... side of his cheeks, begins to waddle in the familiar "fat man" manner and comes out with "Ao da li ya de nu ren pi gu HEN da" (Australian women have REAL big *****). ****en ripper!! Clearly he's spent some time in the North Western suburbs of Melbourne where I grew up. After lunch, we walk up the mountain. Spectacular views and a great short walk, which doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as I expect. The crater itself is quite cool. Been some time ...

Man, what an extraordinary day Was awoken by my phone, early, after a big night at aussie Geoff's Western cafe. A fellow teacher at the school is married to a producer of local soaps and it turns out he needed a foreigner for a bit in one of his shows. I figured a small extra bit, maybe one line: "ni hao" or something. WRONG!! This was a main charcter role. With lines in Chinese. So, here's the ...

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
