Brinley made some new friends on the cruise. Three young girls from Guangzhou were seated at our table and they fell in love with Brinley. They helped her put stickers on her fingers and even tried to braid her hair.
After the cruise we stopped by a small shop to see if they had any bamboo sleeping mats. The orphanage said they needed some so we wanted to buy some as gifts, but they did not have the size we needed. We came back to the hotel and rested a while. We even got in a short swim before we met Bob to walk to dinner. There's a very nice park in front of the Bravo. We walked around the park and visited a department store to buy some candy for the orphanage visit and some other items we wanted. Then is was short walk to the Pizza Hut. After dinner we took a stroll down what Bob called "the walking street". Each night vendors set up tents along the street and people walk around. It was nice and there were a lot of items for sale. We bought Bailey a "Wedding Ball" so both she and Brinley will have one. As I said it was nice, but very crowded. The department store we went in looked like a WalMart on Christmas Eve times 10!
We missed the water and light show at the Waterfall Hotel, but we did see some people singing in the park. There are colored lights in the trees and decorated boats on the lake at night.
Bailey is getting better. She still does her "comfort rock" when she's upset or bored. She may be small and look dainty, but she does have TEMPER. She wanted our large bottle of aspirin and when Sharon said no, we got a screaming, foot stomping, slap the table, hit the floor fit from Miss Bailey! We have some video that she should appreciate later in life!
Things have calmed down now. Bailey and Brinley are still working things out. Both have a lot of adjusting to do.
We meet Bob at 9:45 in the morning to visit the orphanage. We'll see how that goes. Brinley didn't have any problems, but Bailey is older.
