Long overdue - back in play - Chinese New Year

Long overdue, and apologies for the absence.  The Chinese New Year weekend was a stunner.  After weeks of cold and damp weather, including the coldest day in HK for 70 years (and pretty much the whole of January on the road) - we did something social and wonderful - a big walk from the Sai Kung Country Park to Yau Lei.  Of course there was plenty of whinging - Aiden developed a stomach ache very early on, and so complained for 12 kilometers; Evan did the same without needing a stomach ache.  Fortunately Dylan was along for the journey, and Tiggered the troops along with his typically cheery vibe.

Aiden grumbles his way along the path.

Dylan cruising along on the Highlands reservoir road.

Angie in an inexplicable cowboy outfit (boots and jeans - with hat) bringing up the rear across the reservoir wall.  Interesting bit of trivia - the Kariba dam is the largest reservoir in the world.

The beach at Yau Lei when you get there - it was such a crackingly beautiful day.  Not sure who left their wheelbarrow on the beach, or why.

Here's the route.  I thought it was 12kms, turned out only to be 10.  Felt like 20.  The red is the boat home.

Catching a few rays out the back of the restaurant after lunch.

Food was absolutely great, I think one of my fave seafood places.

Best part was catching a lift home on Roy and Debbie's RIB - much nicer than walking - not sure what was said but Roy certainly found it funny.

The next day we were up early, Jacques and Hisako came for brunch, the French boytjie looking cool

And Hisako the bombshell that she is
