Sunday night

After a busy day and dinner, some yoghurt .....

.... and a story ....

....... and another story .....

... and a big smile for Mummy and Pappa!

The two old dudes have just renewed their acquaintance with the two gnarly dudes and are sitting in the living room. Strains of Oskar's complete singing repertoire are drifting down the hall ...."rain, rain, rain, .............. rain ..."

A Visit to the Park

Erik went VERY fast down the path to the park on his scooter, and fell on his knee.
He was very brave, but totally missed the concept of "getting back on the horse"
Nevertheless, he rode all the way home.

Oskar demanded a sore knee as well. (Cathy demanded that this photo be deleted but Oskar said that knees beat bottoms.

A close-up of Oskar's sore knee.

Both kness now totally recovered, but we have to buy another litre of Nivea cream.

Last Hong Kong

The Lippo building on HK island.

Junk

Bamboo scaffolding

Limping past the Arts Centre after our 'rest day'

Hong Kong III

We finally leftb Stanley, but as the bus headed back up the cliffside, Anne noticed that she was on the cliff-side of the bus, and ....

.... there was a large label saying TESTING above the driver.

It would be fair to say that Anne over-reacted, as the fingernail bruises in peter's arm will attest.

The up-side of all this was that when a TUNNEL appeared, Anne merely scoffed. As Tony wouold say, "she's encouragable"

Hong Kong II

We arrived at Stanley market, where Anne instantly disappeared in sear4ch of more bargains than she could imagine. She saved Peter thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

A brief pause for Yum Cha, to assess the weight of the new purchases, then .....

..... out on the trail once more.This time, an extra bag was one of the objects of her search.

Finally, tired but triumphant, she appeared, accompanied by the wails of the many shopkeepers who were devasted at her leaving.

Hong Kong i

On our day in Hong Kong, we set off across the busy harbour on the Meridian Star

Thousands of craft, of all shapes and sizes, crowd the harbour every day

Past a lovely looking golf course in the rain

and on up the cliff side in a number 6X bus

To Hong Kong

Pete on the Airport Exdpress

The view from Anne and Peter's bedroom. We had the same room in 2004, and these trees had been undermined, huge pots built around them and the building nconstructed under them. All finished now.

Another view from A & P's window.

At the Peak. Anne was worried about the slightly scary bus ride up, but the cable car descent soon removed those worries. She is so brave.
