London - 30 September to 1 October 2018

On Sunday morning, Callum and I caught the bus from Fleet Street to Trafalgar Square. We went to the National Art Gallery and then walked down The Mall to Buckingham Palace. It's colder today but the skies are beautiful...

Lots of people around...

Then we walked to Westminster Bridge...

And walked across. This is looking back...

And then we got on the London Eye. Callum did it last year, but I hadn't done it...

Then needed a coffee so went to Flat White which I go to every time in London. Aussie Cafe...

Last day we went for a walk up Fleet Street and over Millennium Bridge again. This is another view of St Paul's...

St Bride's, near our hotel...

London - 26 to 29 September 2018

Quick trip for work. Brought Callum as he is on school holidays. Lucky enough to be in Business Class. I didn't tell him in advance - wanted to surprise him.

Had to transit in Dublin. 13 hours and then a short layover and quick hop to London Heathrow on BA.

Having the traditional Bloody Mary at the Cathay Lounge (The Bridge). His was virgin !

The smile when he realises he is in Business Class...

Walking around Fleet Street area (sneaky photography by my colleague)...

Looking back to Tate Modern...

Hong Kong - September 2018

One Sunday, caught the MTR to Chai Wan, end of the Island Line and walked through the cemetery to Big Wave Bay. The stairs going up from the cemetery are pretty steep and it was pretty warm. At least part of it is covered...

Coming down into Big Wave Bay is very beautiful. This is looking ahead to Shek-O...

Had a swim at Big Wave Bay...

Then walked a bit more to Shek O and had Thai for lunch... 

Eliza graduated from high school...here with her friend Ellen...

Calm before the storm...one day before Hong Kong's biggest ever storm...

Instagram Pier during the storm. It looked like it was going under...

Lunch at Noodle Hive...

Found a new place in the lane next to my office. Indonesian style...

The gift bags at AISHK when Eliza graduated...



With Sydney friends Di and Phil Lambeth at C'est La Vie...

Took them for dinner at Monogamous Chinese, a Sichuan place in Elgin Street...

And afterwards to Wan Chai..

And to Back Bar...
