24.10.2009 28 °C

We went to Xiamen from Jiuzhaigou, just wanted to have a good rest, and waited for my parents coming with our daughter Isabella, I missed her too much, 11 days did not see her, it was the longest time when I left her.

我们从九寨沟来到厦门，想好好休息一下，同时也等我父母带女儿伊莎贝拉来厦门。我很想念女儿，11天没见到她了，这是我们母女分开最久的一次。

On the third day, we went to Gulang Island with my parents. My parents and I had already visited this island many times, so now we went there again just only for my husband and Isabella.

在厦门的第三天，我们一家子一起去鼓浪屿玩。我父母和我已经去过好多次了，所以此行纯粹是陪我老公和女儿才去的。

Firstly we took the boat from the city center to the island.

我们先从市中心搭乘小船去岛上。

Now we arrived the island.

此刻我们到达鼓浪屿。

When we just arrived, a local woman wanted to be our tour guide, 20 yuan for half day (actually only few hours then she escaped), she said in such a hot day, she could showed us the shortest route to every scenery spots, then we could save much time and did not need suffering so hot temperature, so we made a deal!

当我们到的时候，一个当地女人要当我们的导游，20元半天（实际上才几个小时她就跑掉了），她说这大热天的，可以带我们抄近路到每个景点，这样可以节省很多时间，少受高温的折磨，所以我们同意她给我们带路。

Not all the scenery spots we were interested, just chose few of them.

不是所有的景点我们都感兴趣，就挑了几个。

The tour guide took this picture for our family, sigh...it was not nice, but just the only one!

导游给我们拍的全家福，唉……一点都不好看，但仅此一张！

At the entrance of the Ocean World.

海底世界的门口。

It was very small, and not very nice, we went there only especially for Isabella. At the same time, the tour guide ran away, she said she was hungry, needed going back home to eat, and could not continue with us.

这个海底世界又小又不好看，纯粹是为了伊莎贝拉才进去。同时，导游也趁机跑掉，说肚子饿了，要回家吃饭，没法继续陪我们。
