Xiamen 11th to 17th june Day2

Bus dropped us somewhere near a jetty but coz it was a wkend, tended to be crowded, e tour guide used a S'pore flag to make sure all of us followed him!! *seriously, I think all tour leaders should make sure e foreign guides have a S'pore flag so NONE of any s'poreans will be lost*

^tat's e guide, Xiao Yang & e jetty


^awaiting to board the 5mins boat ride to 鼓浪屿 (Gulangyu Island also known as The Garden by the Sea) & e crowd was never-ending









What so special about this island was that, there wasn't any vehicles around except for bicycles & electric tram. In fact, we had to roam around the whole island by foot, initially,we were able to walk 3 qurter of the island then took the tram, but dunno why we din had the tram ride. Spent the entire morning walking & to make matter worst, it was RAINING!!! The breakfast was horrible & halfway through was oreadi famished! We bought to a shop where they served their delicacies on e island. Din buy anything from there coz its like squids, ikan bilis & many more... Those were more suitable for ppl who drink beer & eat them. But I did buy a packet of dried scallops for my sis-in-law to cook porridge for the 2 lil rascals at home.


钢琴博物馆 Piano Museum since I'm not muscially inclined so din bother to take any pictures of the 30 branded old pianos tat were on displayed.

Then we left the island & went for lunch. While waiting for the food to be served, witnessed a guy using a ladder trying to walk to ward the air-con compresser..... *crazy*



Then, we went to this beach where there's this really tall Ma Zhu statue (so called the Goddness of the Sea)



After that, we went for our C.C.C Gala Dinner.

We were oreadi dead beat but the guide still told us to go for night-sightseeing.
