What I failed to do yesterday was record the hassle we had at the arrivals here. We waited 50 minutes for our bus to arrive and then as it went a roundabout route to our hotel via other hotels , the journey took over an hour so 2 hours from arrivals hall to hotel - bit frazzling. Thursday was warm but cloudy. We caught hotel bus to ferry terminal and Star ferry to HK island. Very enjoyable watching all the boats. Then caught the bus - not just any bus but the op...

We had a great meal at the Sitella winery on Easter Monday with Greg and Liz even if I was nominated driver and only drank water! Afterwards we went to Bells Rapids in the hills - only problem no water and therefore no rapids. Then went to Walyunga National Park first sign after entering said $10 per car entry fee , next sign a mile later said gates close at 5pm prompt, as it was 4-58 we did a quick u-turn as we did not want to be locked in and also saved $10! ...

The good thing about cancelling our trip to Rottnest...

Unfortunately Monday morning Peggy is still ill with a high temperature. We made appointment at the Doctors and he told her she has pneumonia. He then advised a chest xray so that was also taken this morning. So no trip to Rottnest island- here is hoping she is well enough by the weekend to be able to do one or two things over the Easter weekend. Bryan
