Hainanese on Hainan Island Day 4

Day 4, which is also the last day of my trip. Woke up at 9am, pretty late compared to the previous days. Washed up and went to the lobby to meet my family. We're going back for more 抱罗粉 because my sis couldn't get enough of the wonderful taste.

The not-so-beautiful river under the beautiful sky.


The mode of transport for the past 4 days.


Beijing 2008. It's everywhere.

After breakfast, we went to the beach. According to my sis, the beach is a must-go place when you come to Hainan Island.

Wedding photo taking. Old school pose.


Who the hell would do that?


The surprisingly beautiful beach.


People fishing at the jetty.


View of the beach resort from the jetty.


王丽丽我爱你。They probably never heard of liquid paper.


Jellyfish in the sea. There's actually lots of them, but only one was visible in the photo.


Another look at the jetty.


Tikis.

Fooled for a while more, then it was time to leave. We made our way to the airport, but stopped 1/2way for lunch.

Fly paper. It was a new sheet when we reached the restaurant.


Assorted veggies with an obscene amount of oil.


Some shellfish with more assorted veggies dish. Also served with lots of oil.


Yam shoots. This is really good.


The legendary Hainanese Mutton Soup. Heavenly.


More dogs. yummy.

OK we're finally at the airport! Turns out there's already a long queue at the check-in area. Damn. While checking in, I turned back to look for the toilet, but I saw this instead:
Yeah right.

As today was the day the Olympic Torch arrives at Hainan Island, everybody was glued to the TV, including the staff at the airport.

Running the Olympic torch.

Good news! The plane is leaving 1/2hr earlier than expected! I'm still not looking forward to the flight, though.

The good thing about window seats: Beautiful view.


I drank 3 cans of each during the 3+hr flight. I prefer the red though, but they were sold out so I had no choice but to get the white.


Sun setting over the horizon.
