Conks visit


Friend conks visited us last weekend; our first visiter in Hong Kong! Here are some updated pics of our place, this time with furniture.


It was National Day.

In Victoria Park.



Our convertatable bed for conks.

Contemplative on the cable ride up to the big buddha.




Hi again, large buddha.

Next day it was off to Cheung Chau Island, about 30-40 minutes away via the fast ferry. On the beach.

I decided to read on the beach instead of swim. Cole and conks on a floatie.

Hiking around Cheung Chau


Cheung Chau had a boardwalk type vibe, what with the beach and all the snack food. These were some of the best fishballs I've ever had. The first one has a curry sauce on it, the other one some kind of sweet sauce.

Hike near Quarry Bay.



For the final night, we took conks to the Peak. There we were trying to figure out what to eat...um $300 for two pieces of sushi? no thanks. Burger King? maybe not. Bubba Gump Shrimp....hmmm.....really....ok why not. And there, I wish I took some pictures, because I had one of the best fish n' chips ever. Battered and fried mahi mahi, a bit denser than cod. Sooo good, but also made me feel kinda sick later because of all the oil. Worth it though.



Anyway, it was fun having a friend visit. Hopefully we'll get to show more people around HK in the future.
