Another leisurely morning and we seem to be doing quite a few of those lately. However, we were determined not to stay indoors all day and decided that a walk to Causeway Bay would be a great idea and we could go and look for some cushions to go with Julie's new cushion covers. We stopped in at Park N Shop, our local supermarket, for a browse along the way and then set off to walk to Causeway Bay. It is a walk of about 20 minutes on a good day, but the weather w...

Time was passing and we had some shopping to do. After hanging around for an hour at Seasons gym while Mum did some more exercise all three of us walked down into the lanes in Central. In these lanes there are dozens of small shops selling clothes and souvenirs of every kind and Julie was bound to find something she liked. She had been hoping to find a watch and, sure enough, in the first shop we came to she was able to buy a nice, sparkly watch with a pink leath...

After a leisurely morning at home we drove into Central, parked the car in the IFC building and walked across the walkways to the outlying ferry terminals. Luckily we only had about 15 minutes to wait before the departure time of the ferry which would take us to Cheung Chau. We bought Deluxe Class tickets which meant we could go upstairs and, even better, go and sit outside at the back of the boat. It was such a beautiful, sunny day which was a real change afte...

In fact we trudged the length and breadth of Happy Valley trying each and every shop which might possibly stock hair elastics but to n...

Today was the first really sunny day since Julie had arrived in Hong Kong. As it was so clear we decided that it would be a great day to go up the Peak and see the views. We thought it would be nice to go up on the Peak Tram and were quite sure that there wouldn't be much of a queue at this time of year. WRONG!! We soon realised that quite a large crowd of people had decided to join us in taking advantage of the sunshine and visit the Peak by way of the tram! Luc...
