Geo: 13.7308, 100.521Got up at 7.15 this morning and went straight down to breaky, we'd been there for roughly 15 minutes when Nana and Pa arrived. Finished at 10 and went back up to the rooms to get ready to go out. We walked to the Asok train station, through Robinsons Department Store and across the bridge, we caught 2 trains and ended up outside MBK shopping centre.

There were a few people who looked to have the job of cleaning everything up but it would ... read more

Geo: -37.8143, 144.963We arrived at the airport after dropping the cats off for their holiday, getting petrol, picking up Nana and Pa and hitting several lots of roadwork's.We checked in straight away then went to McDonalds. Everyone was sitting in the "Dining Room' as they call it when I went out to get a sundae and saw Mark and Sophie Knight and their three children - they were off to America for 3 weeks. The flight was average, it was very full and they had changed our seats so we were sitting in the middle next to an elderly lady.

I would like to say that I waved them off, but, at 5 in the morning I had better things to do - like sleep!!Mel and I went for a last walk around Nathan Road and went and bought Andy a pair of shoes.

Geo: 22.3833, 114.35Andy and his girls were meeting us at the Star Ferry terminal. On their way there, Andy was approached by a friendly girl who asked us to participate in a survey. They were asked a variety of harmless questions ranging from the duration of their stay in Hong Kong to how much they paid for their hotel. The survey ended with the man giving them each a scratchcard as a reward for taking part. Hayley scratched her card to reveal she had won a free T-Shirt and then Andy scratched his card, Amazingly Andy had won the big prize The lady was delighted and vigorously shook his hand, then called over another colleague who was also very delighted to see the big win. Andy was guaranteed one of the 5 prizes listed at the ... read more
