Kayaking into Koh Pan-yi Island

Here is a photo from our beachfront hotel in Phuket.

Elephants in Thailand

We are in Phuket Thailand for a week and Wanda had to see some elephants.

Hong Kong Airport Burger King

You have a bigger choice of beverages here. And no, I didn't supersize.

# 6 Bus

Here is a view of Hong Kong from the top deck of the #6 bus (Central to Stanley Bay)

Hong Kong

We finally made it to Hong Kong. We took the ferry across the bay on Saturday, and then rode the double- decker bus from the Central district to Stanley Bay on the south side of the island. We shopped, ate fish and chips, and visited the maritime museum. Fun day!

Rain, Rain Go Away

We woke up at 5:30 am so that we could catch the 7:45 ferry to Hong Kong, but saw that it was pouring rain. We've waited five weeks to get our permanent visas so we could visit Hong Kong and today is the worst storm yet. Oh well, staying home and relaxing is nice too. Maybe next weekend.

Wanda's Birthday

Wanda had a great birthday weekend. On Friday, my sister had a party for her with some of our old friends from Tbilisi ( see previous post), but Saturday was her actual birthday, so we made sure she had a fun filled day. First, we had lunch at the Boathouse restaurant, where Wanda had a delicious slice of cheesecake for dessert. Next, we went downtown to Shenzhen so she could do a little shopping (Wanda is buying dishes in the middle photo), and last, we ate dinner at a Turkish restaurant. Thanks to Patti, Maureen, and Barbara for helping me to make Wanda's day extra special!

Happy Birthday to Wanda
