Day SIx - five more days before we are home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning - I had my hair washed today!

A good night's sleep -I managed to get Nelly to bath in the bathroom sink without too many problems and she let me wash her hair with no problem, but breakfast was as usual a feeding frenzy ...



Excuse me, don't you live in Dulwich??!

At breakfast we sat next to my friend Debbie, Chris and their little girl Molly - they live about a mile away in Dulwich, and we met up for coffee in October 2005 when we both realised that we were in the same time frame for China.... so this morning it was so cute when they sat next to each other and they had done the same in the Thai restaurant last night...They will be seeing more of each other I am sure. Debbie and I are looking forward to pushing the buggies round the park together !

Today was another "waiting day" - we decided to set off with a map to find the Beijing Road, a long pedestrianised shopping street ...on the map it looked close, in fact it took about an hour to walk there.

Guangzhou Facts
Population: 6,560,500
Area: 7,434 sq. km
Annual average temperature: 71.55F

once there it was very busy, we were approached by lots of people trying to sell us a fake this and that, but impossible to do with child in a buggy. PS this morning we also bought one of those plastic clip and chain things to attach the dummy to her clothing, aha! what a good idea.... But nuh nuh...she managed to work out how to unclasp it within 2 minutes!





OK she is just 100% cute..........



or maybe 110% cute .......

Coffee on the way to the Beijing Road



This poor little mite was wearing all these clothes on a day when it was 19 degrees!

Every time any of us leave the building the guides look in horror at the lack of clothing that the children are wearing.....people in the street stop and comment...and that is in Guangzhou where it has been "cold" i.e. similar to the temps we have had in the UK - ie 10-15 degrees.....but just look at what their children are wearing and today we were down to T shirts!




Happiness on a BROWN SOFA ......

Americans who stay at the White Swan have this tradition of putting all the babies from one group on the Red Couch - they talk about this photo for ages and dress the kids up in Chinese outfits especially! so we decided to do a BROWN SOFA picture this afternoon before the others leave for England tomorrow ...we propped them all up and then one started screaming - they all looked around and set each other off!




Out Shopping....






Our Little Angel napping this afternoon before the photocall....



My Big Angel napping at the same time - one in each room!
