LOL. And Stephan was able to relax with Olivia. Overall a relaxing day of eating way to much. Gemma and Jennifer were there but got missed in my photo's

In 5 weeks we visited the North of France by Road via Amsterdam, Scotland by Road, Austria via Munich, then we did the long way home via Rome and Hong Kong. This was One Fanatastic Trip, way too much driving, but What a Trip. One to Remember.

The View from the Hotel showed what Hong Kong is About. Buildings and not much else. Today we wanted to explore Hong Kong So we hopped into a Ding Ding. We relaxed and went We rode past the big Building we saw the other day on the cruise Todays Target was Man Mo Temple. 1800s temple featuring a lavish, traditional interior with dozens of incense spirals overhead. We arrived at Mam Mo Temple. and there weren't the crowds as expected As the description stated it placed full of Insense. and Lots of it After that went to the Conference Centre to see  the site of the British handover and found the place was not expected. We found that the Mainland is manulating the story, to modified history to suit themsleve. Hong Kong is a busy City build  on hardwork and enterprise. The hotel view was exceptional.  On the way to the Airport we passed the Port. and we ended the day at the Airport.
