10th - 17th July 2013

As full time tour guide we went to all of the tourist sites in and around Hong Kong

Here are just a few of them...

Stanley

The Peak 

A trip across the bay on the Star Ferry

 Kowloon and the night market 

A Big Bus Tour

 The big Buddha

Mum as Bruce Lee

Amy with Bruce Lee

 Ocean Park

Where it rained...and rained

 But that didn't stop us going on some of the rides

The aquarium 

The Pandas

The wet market

Amy was not keen on the smell

And relax...

My New Home in Hong kong

Hong Kong Parkview

This is my new home - http://www.hongkongparkview.com/en/home/index.html

However it is famous for a high profile murder

They don't mention that in the brochure

They even made a movie out of the story

Parkiew from Jardines Lookout

Being at the top of the hill the view can sometimes look like this

It is like a small village or holiday resort, it has a supermarket, dry cleaners, 3 restaurants...

 Swimming pools, gym, coffee shop...

Tennis courts

A caged Driving Range

 Shuttle bus into central

Spectacular views over Hong Kong - at dusk
