Finally, I’m getting around to writing up my adventures in the Far East and first up was a trip to Hong Kong for a wedding banquet for my good friends Woody and Jenny.

Can I have a yellow church please?

The view from the Fortaleza do Monte is only one cannonball away from being much improved.

One of the quaint shops of Macau

Olde worlde Macau street

It was proving to be a very pretty place

China...Portugal...Italy...

I'm getting a bit confused, too many cultures to deal with.... The Venetian casino in Macau is even larger than the one in Las Vegas, its got two canals...

Last stop, Cheung Chau Island

A famous place to go and have some seafood, it also had the least impressive ancient rock carvings I've ever seen.

Nice way to start your travels. I would have enjoyed hearing you sing Total Eclipse of the Heart...one of my favorites. I'll bet you did it justice. You need to publish a food blog of the essential things to eat in Hong Kong. I'd buy it. Sounds like a great trip and a great wedding.
