Hong Kong - Day Three - Hong Kong East

The Hong Kong Temple was the primary

target for the trip.

This morning ours we were at the Hong Kong Temple

This was the Last Target and we hit the mark on all of them.

The Temple was different from others 

as it is s[pread across muiltple floors.

This waterfall was inside the Temple Gardens 

which was not visibale from the outside

this is all that the local know about the Temple.

After this we went back to the Hotel and chnaged.

Hong Kong markets were open and we wanted to explore them.

First was the Flower Market.

The Bird Market was next

After this long walk Jennfer to rest so we grabbed some food fromt he supermarket

We took the Ding Ding back to the Hotel

the Ding Ding are double deck Trams.

I had some shellfish that were freshly cooked.

and Jennifer had some fruit.

I went for swim in the pool at the Hotel.

The views from hotel was amazing at night.

A great way to Finish the Day.

Hong Kong - Day Two - Victoria peak and HK Harbour

OK first day in Hong Kong, we decided to go to Victoria Peak.

We caught the Ding Ding and got lost.

So we walked passed a cemetry

We walked past the HBSC bank

we eventually made it to Victroia Peak.

The views were obsecured by low cloud

But the views were still good.

The city below looked busy below

The harbour looked impressive and busy as well.

You could see all the dredges in the harbour working hard

and there was lots of them.

after the peak trip we headed to the Harbour.

and enjoyed a cruise.

This was one of the boats on the Harbour

The Conference Centre was the next place we wanted to go to.

the crusie was just going around large buildings.

in a Busy Harbor

After this we headed to market to explore.

Fish Markets

with all sorts

The Vege Market with just full off many different Vegetables.

The weather started to pour so we went back to the Hotel.

Another exhausting day.

Hong Kong - Day one - Settling In.

The flight from Rome had been a long one and Jennifer was exhausted. 

by the time we got to the Hotel and rested it was getting late

Jennifer didn;t feel like eating so I went out for a walk.

It didn;t take long to find market store 

in the back streets of Causeway Bay

I found a small food stand and had dinner

It was a Duck meat stirfry.

This was Hong Kong as I expected it.
Thsi was Not Italy anymore.
Roll on the last stop of the long trip home.

Italy - Day Ten - Rome

My Camera has Died.So photo's were through the Phone now.
Today was OLD Rome.
We had Tickets to go to the Colosseum
This place was organised Chaos
They push you through it so fast
The lighting and camera issue meant no Photo's
or some were lost.

But we enjoyed it.

From the Coloseum we went into OLD Forum area

And explored.

This was old monuments to great time of Rome.

Some we had to Wonder what they were there for.

For the View at the top showed it was exentsive,

So we spent many hours exploring.

Before we left to expore the rest of Rome.

Past past the Altar to the Fatherland.

I find it did look like a typewriter...

So we found the Trevi Fountain. we found it very crowded

we slipped in the church called Saint Vinceozo e Anastasio
Thsi little church is right next to the fountain and very few actually go in.

Outside I did the dash into the crowd get my Photos of the Fountian.

This was a great fountain.

We then set off for the Patheon, we found the fountain del Patheon

So we turned around and there was the Patheon.

So we went inside to see what was inside.

WOW the crowds were controled and the place was amazing.

So after that we set off for the Piazza Navona

But first we stopped at the fine italian Deli for Lunch.

We found the Piazza Navona

Explored and found the place very pleasant.

The fountiains weren't over crowded as well.
We stopped here for a Hot Choclate at a one of the Cafe's
After this we decided fidn the Spainish Steps.
We marched across the old part of Rome
and found the Spainish steps.

We looked and ecided we were too exhausted to Climb them.

but the Statue was interesting

we found an interesting Supermarket and bought some dinner.

 The next day, we took the Plane to Bangkok and then onto Hong Kong.
