Another Outing, Another Park

This is the view from our hotel room on the 14th floor. There are lots of big buildings in Nanning, the capital city of the Guangxi Region. You can't really see them well in this picture, but the bridge is lined with rows of flowers. It is beautiful!
This is another view out the window. The sun was setting and I thought the water looked pretty. When we saw this pretty bridge and saw the road that ran along the water's edge, we thought it might be nice to walk to the bridge. So today, our guide took us to the pretty bridge and we walked along the path, which is a pretty park, back towards our hotel. Here is Abby on the bridge holding Flat Panda. We almost lost Flat Panda into the water as it was very windy, and Abby had accidentally let go of him. We were glad he didn't go for a swim!
And here is our hotel from the bridge. It is one of the newer hotels in Nanning and it is quite beautiful.
The bridge led to a park area that had lots of rides for children. Abby wanted to ride this carousel. When it started, it went much faster than the ones we're used to at the fair. We really had to hold onto Flat Panda!
Abby enjoyed this car ride. Flat Panda looked a little dizzy afterward.
Sarah had to hold onto Flat Panda for a while so he could rest from the rides.
We decided to take a short boat ride in a paddle boat. Flat Panda enjoyed the slow pace, but Sarah was ready to be done.
Then we started our walk back toward the hotel. The walkway was lined with palm trees and beautiful tropical flowers and plants.
Some of the pretty flowers.
A big Ficus tree.
Flat Panda wanted to climb a small Palm tree.
We finally made it back to the hotel. It was a lot of walking on a warm and humid day, and Abby was tuckered out! She took a good nap and bounced back to normal.

Tomorrow, we fly to another city. Thankfully, it is only a short 45 minute plane ride. See you from there!
