Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Playtime with Daddy - lovin' the bubbles

On the way to the Nanning Zoo

Look whose up from her nap

Can't get too much of this face

At the Zoo......the weather here has been such a treat!



This tiger on the end did not want to cooperate with this Chinese super hero!

Liliah diggin' the tiger show

Drinkin' the real thing

Okay, this was odd seeing this bear walk a long way across the way for pictures.....I kept thinking is someone in that suit?

I was telling the Hays, that their daughters first English sentence is going to be Crickey, Mate. We have a DVD with the late croc man Steve Irwin and Bethany loves it.


We have fallen into a familiar routine here in Nanning. Up around 6-7 AM, I work on blog while Darryl heads down to breakfast to eat, I clean up once he's back, wake Miss L up @ 8AM and head to breakfast so her & I can eat (Daddy feeds her), then back to the room to grab our things and meet Glenn in the lobby @ 9:30 AM for our touring. We then head back to the room after lunch for naps around 2PM up @ 4 or 5PM. In the evening, we head out for our own adventures.
Our adventure last night was bowling! We saw this place the night before while we were on walkabout....I said, we have to bowl in China......how many people can say they have bowled in China. We had so much fun and played 2 rounds. You know what a ham I can be....I was doing the Fred Flintstones up on me twinkle toes dancing towards LAUNCHING the ball. We also found a bakery that had something we recognized.......sugared coated doughnut holes on a stick, score.
