Woke up late the first day in sanya after our... Interesting arrival late last night and were determined to see the sea! We walked about 5 minutes out of our hostel and found it! It was warm outside so shorts time and walking along the beach barefoot in tshirt and shorts in the middle of winter was very lovely, and the beach was so clean! The water a lovely blue green and the sand almost completely rubbish free!
We walked around the bay before heading into a restaurant for breakfast / lunch.
After lunch we went to the shop and bought some mosquito repellent as hot places get them year round and then jumped on a bus into town to do some shopping and have a look around. We investigated the markets and walked along the second and much larger beach before heading down some backstreets and exploring the city a bit. Chris made a start on gift buying with some Chinese arguing by me as he really is awful at bargaining. One woman really took a shine to us for our hard bargaining and not bad Chinese which was fun!
After the sunset we got the bus back to our hotel and chilled out in the room for a bit before bed, determined to go swimming in the sea tomorrow! I've wanted to since I arrived in china so long ago!
