Sorry for the delay in getting this final post for my Australian trip up, I am afraid that since I returned to the UK I have been busy trying to catch up with various things.

Anyway, the return journey took me from Cairns to Hong Kong where I had three days pottering around before the flight back to the UK.

On one of the days, I went with a friend, resident in Hong Kong, on the ferry to Lamma Island where we walked the track between the villages of Sok Kwu Wan and Yung Shu Wan, ending with a very nice meal at one of the small restaurants.

So, a very interesting and enjoyable trip, even if the result of the Ashes Tests was not what one might have hoped.

For those of you who have been looking at these pages, that is all for now. My next trip should be in the summer.

Bye for now!

Hong Kong Outbound

Arrived in Hong Kong after a smooth trip out from the UK. Very impressed by the Airport Express, thought they could do with more ticket agents at the airport, before being decanted into the chaos of Hong Kong traffic. It seems that nothing changes there anyway.

Once at the hotel contacted friends and arranged to meet the following day.

After meeting outside the Peninsular Hotel, a walk along the waterfront to the Star Ferry terminal and across to Hong Kong Island on a lovely day to take the tram up to the Peak, with splendid views across the harbour.

From there the MTR  and bus out to Shek O on the south-west of the island before returning to Kowloon as the sun was setting. A very pleasant day.

Next stop Perth!
