Beach at Sanya
This is one of the more touristy beaches we were on, not as nice as some of the others but we didnt get a chance to take photos of them. Hi everyone,
We've been in Sanya for about 6 days now and are just getting ready to get the train back to Guangzhou and then on to Hong Kong until saturday when we are finally leaving for Thailand! I'd like to say that we have travelled all over the island and done alot of sight seeing but that would be a lie as we've actually just been lying on a beach all day every day and then having a few beers in the evening with everyone else who is staying here. The other day me and lucy were feeling slightly hungover and were getting extremely pissed off with the annoying little children who were sat next to us on the beach as it can be quite crowed, so we looked around and decided to walk futher along right to the other end where it looked almost deserted so we could have a little nap. Any way after walking for about 10 mintutes we finally reached the other side when i saw a man just standing there completely naked, me and lucy were very suprised, laughed but just carried on walking. It was then that we noticed a group of about
50 chinese men all huddled together and all off them were completely starkers, it was not a pleasent sight! It then clicked why this part of the beach seemed to be deserted as it was obviously a nudest beach, we were very shocked to say the least. I think for a few moments the men had been quite excited at the prospect of having some female company but were very soon dissapointed and i think they could tell that we found it slightly amusing as we very unsublty bursted out laughing and walked off as quickly as possible in the other direction.
In the end we positioned ourselves far away enough from them so as not to see everything that was on display as we had brought our snorkels along and didnt really fancy accidently swimming into one of them having an afternoon dip. When we finally plucked but the courage to go snorkeling (i was convinced there were lots of sharks and lucy kept thinking she was going to stand on a sting ray), we were quite dissapointed as we didnt even see any fish, so in the end we met some english guys from the hostel and swam out to a platform in the sea which we could dive off, we were both very proud of ourselves as it took about 30 mins to reach it. Later on in the day when we were sunbathing a group of about 20 chinese lads came on to the beach and stripped off to their tiny little speedos, they were obviously part of a rugby team as they were quite hench and god they loved themselves. They then stood in a long line while people started to take photos of them while they were posing, kissing there biceps and tensing their arse cheeks, it was absolutely hilarious and we were both gutted that we didnt take our camera to the beach that day. Lucy said she'd give me 100 yaun to run up to them and slap all of their arses, it was extremely tempiting but i didnt really fancied get arrested or anything.
We have both really enjoyed our stay here even though the weather hasnt been that great, apart from the first 2 days its been really cloudy, but we have been determined to get a tan so have still been to the beach every day and both made a mistake in thinking you didnt need sunlotion if it was cloudy. Also we are convinced one of the chinese girls in our room in a prostitute, she sleeps all day and then gets up about 1 in the morning, gets in about 5 and then has a bloody shower while we are trying to sleep!
The other night a group of us decided to go and get a chinese massge as it only cost us 2 pounds for a whole hour, i'd have to say that apart from getting mugged it was the most unpleasent thing that we i have done since we've been away. I have never been in so much pain in my life, at one point the girl actually climbed on my back and was kneeling up and down on me and clicking bones which i didnt even know i had, and abviously we cant speack chinese so i couldnt tell here to ease off a bit. Altough afterwards we did feel quite good we both agreed that it wasnt really worth the pain inflicted on us at the time.
Speak soon love katie and lucy x x x
