Return to Hong Kong and Macau Pictures

Hong Kong harbour with Gary, his Mum and Dad. They brought fantastic weather with them to Asia - beautiful bright days considering it was the rainy season.
The weather did turn slightly ominous when we climbed to Victoria Peak. Cloud rolled in around the island in a very spooky way as you can see here. Luckily we got to shelter before we got soaked!
Sunset from Victoria Peak. Nice view!
The Symphony of Lights (a choreographed music / light display) across Hong Kong Harbour. Lots of lasers and lights on a very clear night.
In Macau, with our usual skill, we managed to arrive at the main sights in the centre of town in the middle of a dance festival! We were treated to a fluorescent orange dragon dancing to drum beats, and then loads of international parties who shimmied outside the church. Very festive.
