China (Beijing, Yunnan and Sanya), Slightly Sickly In Sanya, 23 to 25 April 2010

23 April 2010

Overnight rain postponed tennis but clears the air.

Ged starts Yiddish Policeman’s Union.

Ged’s cold still in full sway. Breakfast. Run backups on to drive, then enjoy our villa for the day, jacuzzi, steam, pool, vids and all.

Then early evening tennis.

Try some in-villa dining tonight – Daisy has a club sandwich, Ged a pasta with prawns washed down with the Venetian we bought yesterday – very nice

Try playing Go/Othello/whatever it’s called briefly.

24 April 2010

Up early for tennis again today then wash, breakfast etc.

Another day relaxing in villa, another day of streaming cold for Ged! Again make most of the facilities – discover the water-bouncy ball doesn’t bounce! Still jacuzzi and steam works wonders.

Try the beach barbecue tonight starter of duck/Hainen chicken – then try prawns, oyster, scallop, clam, lamb, beef… with trimmings and some ice cream! Bottle of Stump Jump goes down well.

Daisy decides to open windows tonight as it’s cooler – bad idea mozzie wise! Someone or something must’ve been badly bitten by one of the mozzies but it doesn’t seem to have been one of us!

25 April 2010

Oversleep tennis slot and it is bright first thing so take some sun then breakfast…

…then Ged’s guts explode!

Quiet day on beach (briefly Ged) and mostly around villa to recuperate.

Daisy swims (Ged doesn’t). Replacement bouncy ball seems more bouncy!

Daisy joins Ged’s “fast” to try to clear guts so quiet evening in and early night – looked at photos again briefly before bed.

There is a placeholder and links piece for this trip, with links to all the photographs, the full itinerary and stuff – click here for that.
