Fri 6th Nov 09Today we are going on an adventure toXiamen in China .
Catriona and Jørgen are both meeting us at Ma on Shan town center after work .
Then a bus to the airport on arriving we have several checks to go through ,one being the health check as swine flue is not allowed to travel 'and then find ourselves running as late for our flight on Dragon air .
The flight was very comfortable with plenty of leg room, more forms to fill in for health and entry to mainland China.
A taxi then took us to the beautiful 5star Wyndam hotel with a spectacular view across a harbour to Gulang Yu island.
Later we went out to explore the shopping area ,people walking up the middle of the streets ,and traffic that does not stop ,and this is a quieter part of China. The clothing shops are a must we will buy some bargains before we leave.
Hot pot was on tonight's menu [a pot cooking in the middle of the table ] they were not kidding chilly hot, too hot for me, but every one else seems to be used to eating hot food.
Now what direction do we go to get back to the hotel? A group of lads sitting on chairs stood up offering us a seat, asked can we help? One of them drew a map, every one is so helpful and friendly.
