After our hike in the morning and lunch in Villa Coloane we caught the bus to Macau old town and explored for the afternoon.

The coastal walk from the Grand Coloane to Villa Coloane village is absolutely stunning. The kids were amazing on a really hot morning.

When family comes to see where you live, no trip is complete without a side trip across to Macau for a couple of days, especially when it is so easy on the bus. And you get to travel on the longest bridge in the world!

Children and Disneyland are a magical combination! What a privilege to be able to take our grandkids (and Brad and Katherine) to Disneyland and to join them in the joy and the magic of the place.

First full day in Hong Kong for Brad and Katherine, Eva, Reuben and Blaise, so off to the Peak Tram and a walk around Luggard Road. Despite the heat, and blisters from the new sandals (it's winter in Australia where they've arrived from and as children who grow so quickly they needed new sandals).

Our son, his wife and three of our nine grandchildren arrived to visit us in Hong Kong. Our hearts are full as we explore Hong Kong with them showing them the places and things we love about Hong Kong.

Jeff had a day off work, so off we went exploring. There is so much to see and do in Hong Kong. Today we caught the ferry across to Lamma Island, a 30 minute ride from Central on Hong Kong Island. There was a lot of construction and it was really busy, so we didn't see it at it's best, but we'll go back and explore some more soon.

Our second full day in Taipei we caught the local train out towards the zoo. The gondola ride to Maokong was amazing and very cheap. We enjoyed walking around the mountain top before catching the gondola back down. We finished off an amazing day with more night market foods.

Staff travel has kicked in and Jeff and I took the opportunity to fly to Taipei Taiwan for 3 days. We'd never been to Taiwan before and loved it. Enjoy this video of our first day exploring the streets, Daan Park, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, Longshan Temple and the night markets with the most amazing food!

A group of seven high rise buildings called "The Greens" are being updated. We are fascinated by the scaffolding they use. Bamboo as opposed to the steel used in Australia. The renovations of replacing the exterior tiles, upgrade of air conditioners and painting of interior was supposed to take 3 months. So far (apparently) it has been 6 months. It is debilitatingly hot and humid in June and cu...

After visiting Tai O we caught the bus up the mountain to view the Big Buddha. We then hiked back down to Tung Chung.

Our dear friends Robyn and Matt spent a couple of days with us on their way to somewhere else. We had a lovely couple of days showing them the sights. We caught the bus to Tung Chung and the ferry from there around to Tai O. Tai O is such a different type of village to anything in Australia. After brunch, a walk around the village houses suspended over the water and a short boat ride through th...

This was our third trip to Macau together and we were ready to do some more exploring. Day 1 we spent relaxing and recovering near our hotel on Macau Island but day 2 we were ready to start exploring again. We caught the bus to Coloane Village on Taipa Island (Macau has two islands that make up Macau, Taipa Island and Macau Island). After enjoying the delightful village of Coloane, we walked al...

Scarlet is our landlord and has become our friend. We met up on Hong Kong Island to transfer the internet in our name and then she took us on the most beautiful hike to Red Burner Hill. The view at sunset was magical.
