If your a fish - this aquarium in Hong Kong is not a good place to be !

Image
The local supermarket is a mixture of European and Asian but this "choose your fish for dinner" aquarium is quite an eye opener.

On our second day in Discovery Bay we tackle the viewpoint - worth the effort !

Image
It was a beautiful day 25'c, clear blue skies and low humidity so we decided it would be a good idea to tackle the 700m steep climb up to the look out point. After several stops we eventually made it to the top . The climb is very steep with crumbly steps that are certainly not for the faint hearted but we were rewarded with spectacular views from Lantau/Discovery bay across to HK. 

Not strictly sailing - but here we are in Hong Kong watching the boats go by..

Our first visit to HK en route to Sydney. We stayed on Lantau Island which is where the airport is located and is either a short drive or a ferry ride over the HK central. We stayed at the Auberge in Discovery bay.  The hotel didn't disappoint, a great room with a shower that had panoramic views over the  bay. Discovery Bay itself is a lovely place. Feels a bit like a Sunny/Asian version of Clapham with lots of young'ish European professionals and young families. Not the frantic HK that we expected. We stay in HK itself on the way back.

Autumn in a truly beautiful time in the south of England

Against all the predictions this autumn has produced some wonderful colours and our garden is no exception.
