Hong Kong - July 2022

 Love my new cap!

I hadn't been to Cheung Chau for a while. Had a walk around a different part of it.

Walked up a hill past a large cemetery...

Found a beach I hadn't seen before. Had a swim there. It's very hot.



Had lunch at a Malaysian place. Not bad...


This is the main beach which is gets very crowded...


One afternoon when it was a bit cooler, I went to Lamma for a hike. Arriving at Sok Kwu Wan...


Walking the family trail to Yung Shue Wan...


Looking back at Sok Kwu Wan...





Had a well-deserved beer at Yung Shue Wan and then bolted for the ferry...


Leaving Yung Shue Wan...


Went to a new cafe in Elgin Street for brunch. Great presentation...


I wal through Tai Kwun every day...


Rice noodles, one of my favourites...


One night we went to a new rooftop bar called Carbon for work drinks. That's my office, The Center, on the left...


Looking down into Tai Kwun...


And looking up to The Peak...



One Sunday I headed to Sham Shui Po which is an interesting area to walk around. Big electronics market and up and coming cafes...


Then I went to gym at Langham Place in Mongkok and then walked to Prince Edward to the flower market. Had a late lunch in Prince Edward...


Had dinner one night at a tapas place in Lai Chi Kok called Rustico. Food was great...




Back to Lamma for another hike on very hot Sunday. Caught the ferry to Sok Kwu Wan and then turned left do do a bit of a circuit. Stopped at Mo Tat Wan beach for a look...


Then kept going and had a swim here at Shek Pai Wan...


Then walked over the hill. This is coming down into Sok Kwu Wan...


Met a mate for dinner in one of the restaurants. Lovely night...








Melbourne - June 2024

 Had to go to Melbourne for work. Flew on the Monday morning and straight to the office. After work I checked in to Voco and crossed Lonsdal...
