Today Mum got me up really early to get the 9:06 ferry to Wanchai to get to tennis. It was supposed to be our first lesson with Ron Doctrove (Billy Doctrove-the cricket umpire's cousin) and I was really looking forward to it. I was really tired when I got up at 8:30am, so I got dressed and had breakfast to wake me up! At about 8:50am Ron texted Mum to say that the tennis courts are flooded so no lesson for today! Hearing this, I got back in bed and went to sleep till 9:45!!!When we finally decided to get up, we got the bus to Stanley - a seaside town, with a market that sells all sorts of things. The bus ride was funny because it was a double decker, and we sat at upstairs at the front! Branches off trees kept banging against the glass at the front of the bus! The ride was a bit bumpy because the road wasn't in that could condition!
Once we got to Stanley, glad that we still had our lives, we ventured across to Stanley market! There were stalls selling English names written in Cantonese (they had Meagan and Meghan but not Megan.) I bought a Chinese jewellery roll to put all my jewellery in. It was quite interesting seeing what the different stalls sold.
We stayed in and Dad cooked us Bruscettas, sauteed potatoes and salad. It was delicious! After tea we played monopoly. Mum absolutely bankrupted Dad and I. We weren't very pleased because she always wins. It's not fair! It was fun though!
Speak soon!
