home again home again

Really wanted a swim today again before we go back so we got the bus back to dadonghai as the beach is much nicer being the little bit away from town. Just as we headed in the sun came out so had a really lovely swim in the cool water with the warm sun, very relaxing, swam out to buoys and back and lazed around in the surf then towelled off and squeezed into the bus for the trip back to the hotel, much to the other bus passengers delight i'm sure, smelling of the sea! 

The wierdest thing about sanya is that everyone and everything is so russian, all around the shops are in russian, its something we noticed all week but dadonghai is the worst, even people trying to sell you stuff on the street are speaking in russian, and in the restaurant its russian or chinese or nothing! not that we really care...chinese is spoken everywhere!

Showered and checked out and then went back to the foreign bar one last time for a goodbye cooked breakfast, bacon I miss you so! 

then we picked up the bags and got the bus to the airport, 3 hours early! checked in and left the bags there before heading back out of the airport to the beach! luckily it was only a few stops away on the bus so we had something to eat looking over the beach one last time then went back and went through security with an hour to spare. 

2 and a half hours later our flight finally left, landing in Hangzhou late in the evening, luckily I know hangzhou well so got the bus and then walked to the hostel in hangzhou that I know and love.

Crashed into the dorm and passed out in the bunk, £3 a night, not bad! and the next morning had a relaxed morning before my afternoon train back to cangnan! Home again safe and sound leaving chris in hangzhou to get his flight to beijing for two weeks to meet his mum, and me to relax for two weeks holiday with no Chris!!
