The following morning a well rested Emily met up with Hannah, Ben Jones's Girlfriend and made it to Macau. A rather under rested Martin rested and spent the day in complete bliss walking the streets of Hong Kong with a book and all the time in the world. Emily and Hannah took the hour long journey to Macau. With a well thought out route managed to venture through nearly every casino. Sufficiently overwhelmed by the size and number of casinos and with no idea how to get involved Emily and Hannah decided that a cheese and wine festival was more up their street.

Our next adventure was to check out the beaches that Hong Kong has to offer and by happy coincidence we timed our visit with HKRugbyBeach5s. After spending the day watching the events on the beach we felt very jealous that we didn't work in Hong Kong and enjoy all the benefits that come with it. We then took the bus back to the Dugdale's for a nice dinner and the good old homemade English classic…apple crumble and custard! (Emily's favourite)

With Martin yet to visit Macau, it was now his turn, whilst Emily explored more of Hong Kong. Emily and GG decided to visit went a backstreet restaurant for lunch to get a real flavour of local cuisine. Not a tourist in sight and if there was a menu it certainly wasn't in English! They were warmly welcomed in and directed to their seats, two small seats on a circular table along side throngs of locals. The place was absolutely heaving and clearly extremely popular, GG assured Emily that they were lucky to get a seat! Sat, and watched, Emily was taking it all in, trying to understand just how things worked. After a while it became apparent that food was available on trolleys which regularly circled the restaurant. With the good dishes being snapped up quickly it was time to roll up their sleeves and get involved. After watching a hearty women sitting on their table devoure what only be described as congealed fat mixed with the worst parts of a duck, Emily appetite was slower diminishing. They soon became completely put off by the variety of shall we say unique dishes and realised they were well and truly out of their depth so we succumbed to the pressure and swiftly exited!! Martin mean while was all up in Macau, running from place to place with the impatience of a sober priest. Off to the House of Dancing Water and enjoyed perhaps the greatest live show he had ever heard of let alone witnessed. High wire trapeze, death defying high dives and motor bike supermen. Incredible!!
