Birthday weekend - Sanya, Hainan Island, PRC

Our first night at the Mandarin Oriental on our deck. The weather was hot and humid but who cares if you are at the beach or near a pool, right?!
The hotel property has 3 pools and lots of little corners with neat seating areas.









Dinner on the beach, we ate here every night!
This was a spicy chili mango martini with fried chili pepper chips and spicy nuts.
Dim Sum lunch, not everything on the plate tasted good. The second from the left was a bit like Wonder bread pressed into a round form stuffed with sweet chinese bbq pork - yuck.

What a wonderful birthday present to get to go to a tropical place in China. We also spent one morning cycling around the island, too bad once you are off the spectacular property it looks like a poor third world country. The whole island seems to be under construction for the Volvo Sailing Cup in 2012, Sanya is the third stop on the round the world sail.
