omg - spent over an hour writing this blog, whilst watching CSI and lost internet connection just as I tried to send it so lets try again.
Weather held out for going to theme park on the Saturday, park entrance is only 5 min walk from our flat, however another 30 min walk to get to theme park entrance, all uphill. So we were minging and sweaty by the time we got there. The 6 of us, Michael (our driver) his son, Tracy, Tracy's sister and her two girls.
The first ride we went on, spinning faster and faster, upside down and not feeling very safe. The cuts and bruises are all visible now, and I was even more surprised that I didn't lose the contents of my stomach. I'm blaming the dodgy stomach from the previous day for the lack of rides that I managed to go on afterward, or it could just be that I'm getting old!!!
Did manage the log flumes with Scott, and also the dodgems with Tracy's niece which was fun, already lost my ability to drive lol. Don't think a day went by once i'd got my car that i hadn't driven it, until I came to China of course. Now I have my own personal driver. Michael drives a 7 seater people carrier, on the way back from the theme park, there was 10 people and 3 children in the car on the way to the restaurant.
The restaurant was this lovely buddha style themed place, with cosy booths, one of the best meals that I've had since coming to China. Straight back home to work on lesson plans for teaching on Sunday.
Was working Thursday's lessons 2day, which is great since its a half day. Matt, Anna, Cassie and I went of to Orange Island after our afternoon nap. The island is about 30 min walk from Waulking street, so not far but beautiful. We didn't see all of the island, it was bigger than we had anticipated, but what we saw was nice, what was even better was the clean air as there was no cars on the island, only big golf buggies. We went on one on the way back to the bridge, however we didn't realise that you were suppose to have a ticket. We acted stupid; they let us on for free, great being a tourist and not being able to speak the language.
Still watching CSI but will be heading to bed soon, more classes 2mo.
