Back to reality!

Well after 10 spectacular weeks of leave, I've now come back to reality and back to work! I had an absolutely awesome time in the States and it was sad to say goodbye to all our fabulous new friends, but after a couple of days at home in Perth, resting, relaxing and catching up with friends and loved ones, Rob and I headed off to Hong Kong.

Highlights of Hong Kong:

1. Dolphin Encounter at Ocean Park.

2. Visiting trendy Lan Kwai Fong for dinner and drinks.

3. The Symphony of Lights show - a multimedia display including 43 buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour.


4. Visiting the Buddha on Lantau Island - the world's tallest, outdoor, seated bronze Buddha.

5. Shopping on Nathan Road and Ladies Markets (I think this may have only been a highlight for me...)

6. Taking a ride up the peak to enjoy the famous view of Hong Kong.


7. Heritage Tour of the New Territories.

8. Gambling in Macau - the Asian 'Las Vegas' and while not as spectacular as the real thing, actually rakes in more money!

9. Hong Kong Island tour including a visit to historic temples.

10. Cruise of Victoria Harbour (well it was a highlight for Rob, I dozed off if you can believe it!)

11. And last but certainly not least... catching up with family and eating lots of yum-cha!

The Symphony of Light looks amazing! Wish I could've been there to see you with the dolphins at Ocean Park. Hope you got lots of shopping in and can't wait to see all the pics and hear all your stories
