Our Trip to Hainan Island, China

26th Nov to 29th Nov 2009

Trip details: It's Thaddeus' first flight, Mummy's 1st trip to China and nothing much for Daddy.

The packing list is huge when it's travelling with a young child. see our luggage in the right of the picture below. My sister's luggage.
Walking to the flight... The background is James, Chunlian and Sophia.

Thaddeus in the plane, mid-air.
He had a brief, 10 mins of tantrums, during both to & return journey on the flight.

We arrived at Hainan, Haikou, and we checked into a 5 stars hotel. All expenses are on Father-in-law. We spent most of the 1st day in the hotel because it's comfy and the outside is not very condusive for children, the people there smoke indoors and the outside is just too hot for Ray.

2nd day: we took a long car ride, 4 hrs, to Sanya. Sanya is where the beach is. Well, they called it the Hawaii of china. But the beach is just like East coast park. Except the sea breeze is colder at this time of the year. I dun like the beach because it's too crowded and the pple talks so loud that there's not really relaxation, that' s actually the most basic thing i'm looking for.

In the hotel, Day 1.


at the lif t lobby where you're the 2nd hand smoker all the time.

In the hotel, Sanya, day 2.

this coast line is beautiful, it's more for the locals. Halfway to village on day 3.

Day 3: Ray's hometown, Wenchang; Hainan.
(refer to map above)
It's another 3 hours car ride.
We did firecrackers the 1st thing we arrived.
It's mum's and thad's 1st time.
But i dun think Thad will remember.

Jungle exploration: to the rice fields and the well.
