Asia » Hong Kong » Hong Kong Island » Stanley December 31st 2011

Trying again.................in gym at 6.15 this morning - must be jet-lag. Took a trip on a junk from Central Pier to Kowloon to Stanley. Caught a bit of sun on the way. Stanley's a lovely spot. Went to the Tin Hau Temple. Fell asleep on the way back after trying to take Rae's pic without switching camera on - must be jet-lag (or old age). After a very pleasant dinner in the hotel (complete with party hats etc.),went down by tram to see the New Year in at Central Pier,complete with fireworks. Happy 2012 to one and all - should be a few pics attached!... read more

Traders Hotel is lovely and we have a room on 24th floor - haven't seen much yet since it's been dark! We ate in the 28th floor restauarant which had good views over the harbour. Went for walk after and got a pic of an HK tram. To be continued............... read more

One more sleep and we're off! Am extending the subscriber list - hopefully. Went Cinderella on Ice in Ipswich today with Emma and Ava - very good,although maybe more appreciated by older children. As Emma said "It's a bit confusing when they don't talk".... read more
