Hong Kong Highlights

We had three days to enjoy Hong Kong. We planned on making a day of going to Ocean Park so Leslie Ann could see the pandas but rain off and on all day put a damper on the outing. We were hoping the skies would clear for a jaunt up Victoria's Peak for dinner and to watch the city lights but it remained overcast canceling those plans as well.

Our first evening in town we spent enjoying traditional Irish treats (and lager) in an Irish Pub. Molly and David Garreth had a ball playing darts. Molly and I trounced the David Duo in the end. Proving once again that girls rule, boys drool. The next evening we took the Star Ferry across the Causeway and enjoyed dinner in the Soho area of Hong Kong. Very upscale and artsy, as the name implies. We went to an Argentinean restaurant and feasted on authentic Argentinean beef and wine. Leslie Ann took a real liking to the blood sausage. I much prefer the chorizo...

Yesterday we sat glued to the TV as the bombings in London unfolded and spent a quiet afternoon in bookstores before taking in the nightly laser show on the Causeway from the Skylounge in the hotel.

David, of course, spends the bulk of his time working, say 24/7. When Asia is winding down, the West is just beginning to stir so he never gets to call it a day.

In a few hours we head to Vietnam. It is about a two hour flight from Hong Kong to HoChi Minh City. The links that follows takes you to some really nice pictures of Hong Kong. We've enjoyed a great view of the Causeway from our windows.
