New Year

Posted 1 January, 2009 in Travel

Having had quite a cold Christmas we decided it was about time for some sun and so headed off to Weizhou island. Weizhou is a small, 25 km², island south of Behai. It looks a bit like an elephant’s head, here’s a picture of it:

The satelite image of Weizhou island is a screen shot from NASA’s globe software “World Wind”.

Unfortunately the weather there wasn’t that great so our days on the beach weren’t exactly how we’d pictured them:

On the plus side there were lots and lots and lots of banana trees so we went scrumping and came back with about 75 bananas:

We also found a round yellow fruit as big as Debbie’s head:

For New Years Eve we bought a shit load of fishy stuff and had a big barbeque accompanied by copious amounts of alcohol. Then on the stroke of midnight we lit a load of fireworks on the beach, unfortunately it was quite windy and they didn’t actually go off at midnight, instead we had to make a few modifications to the fuses (:s) and had our firework display about 10 minutes late… It was still way before you guys back in England though!!
