First Stop Hong Kong......

The travelling duo send greetings from Hong Kong............ We have been greeted with hot weather, high humidity and now rain, rain, rain! Inspite of this we managed to shop, explore and enjoy the experience. A few images to share our adventures...............



The famous shopping strip, Nathan Road at night

This statue of the native flower of Hong Kong was a gift from the people of China at the time of the handover from British administration

The Portugese influence is stong on Machau - this is one example

The towering Machau Tower on an overcast day! We went up to the 54th floor for stunning view of Machau & surrounds.  A favourite pastime is bungie jumping from the 61st floor of this building!

This sign is a reminder of bungie jumpers overhead!!!!

The dense living conditions of Hong Kong..............

We depart Hong Kong for Paris tonight. Next stop Nantes & the textile exhibition. Must away some last minute shopping to be attended!!
Until the next post.......au revoir, K & R................

  1. I remember being in Hong Kong with you in 1987......It was very hot and humid and we were having difficulty sleeping.....I remember asking you if the shops would be open even though it was 3am! Glad you and Robyn are having a wonderful holiday.
