... I got cross with someone and the hurried us out the door. <br><br>There&#8217;s a two foot wide ledge all around the observation deck, and we were all strapped to a bar overhead, but our guide was actually good fun, and the Phillipino boy and the Japanese girls provided endless entertainment with their fear of heights. We sat on the edge, watched the skyjumpers and did a few running jumps of our own, where you ran, jumped (obviously) and ...

... Which is fine and all I guess, but by the time he was done, it was about 2:30am. After I had returned to the hotel, showered and packed in advance, it was already 4:00am - and crazily enough, we decided on a 5:45am start, determined to catch as much of Hong Kong as possible before we pack our bags for home. "We'll see how that goes," I thought as I collapsed onto my bed, happy but totally worn out. The comforts of the hotel had never seemed so necessary until now.

... brother! We must learn more about this issue to understand what is going on. - The Chinese all work very hard (that is why I have always said you can't out work the Chinese) because from a very young age they are taught that there is limited help from the government when they get old so they must work hard and accumulate enough for their later years. - Note: I have found ...

... months down the line! (So expect a package with my jeans, jumpers and coats Mum!) Surprisingly I didn't try any of the casinos, had more fun just walking about exploring the place. Really is a beautiful picturesque place. So the bungy jump! We only found out about this place as Dennis came to Macau especially for it. Sam ended up doing it first, I was so proud - it looked scary as hell 233m up - the tenth tallest tower in the world! 8 second freefall before the bungy ...

... a steep hill and descended to the old red-light area, Rua da Felicidade (Happiness Street) now a strip of restored red and white buildings full of little restaurants and curio shops. We continued our stroll past more nice sights until we ended up at the A-Ma Temple where a festival was in full swing, with lion dancers, drummers and even a Chinese Opera. Nearby was a road with several Portuguese restaurants and so we tried one. It was strange having a heavy European meal but a nice change ...

... it took us a while to figure out which pier we needed and by the time we did, the ferry to Cheung Chau island was boarding. After about an hour on the ferry we arrived at Cheung Chau, an island with no cars, just bicycles for transport and converted tractors to haul waste.

For reasons best known to themselves but I guess its so that they could cram in more sights than any of their competitors...(competition between tour group companies is particularly fierce in the Northern Territories and in ...

... I watched a few things including Who Killed the Electric Car? and the horror movie God on my Side. We descended into Hong Kong from the north but we were on the wrong side of the plane for any good views. The airport was well managed as usual and we took some time to buy a SIM card for Belinda and our tourist Octopus cards. Only the blue Lantau taxis would take us to ...
