a restaurant, love and a wedding

After an annoying delay I arrived to my home away - Australia. And after what seemed to be an eternity, I threw myself into the arms of Kris. Love feels so good!

Got to see the restaurant.
Got to see where Kris lives now - Mooloolaba, and where he grew up - Byron Bay. (And it is paradise, I promise you).
Got to see his family. (So sweet).
Got to see "family" and friends of my own. (Ray & Lorraine and Terrence - Great catch ups).
And got to take part in a beautiful wedding.


All in all - had a marvellous and splendid time!
And it was really sad to go back home again...

mooloolaba - here I come

Finally she's on her way to Australia.
On her way to see Kris!
On her way to places she hasn't been to before.
On her way to meet the whole Lewis clan for the first time (and not feeling nervous yet...).

Just about to step on the plane.
Laters skaters.

golf

Today was a beautiful day and I got to see a side of HK that I hadn't seen before.

Spent my whole day in the sun, on a stunning golf course. All because my company sponsored the yearly Swedish Chamber Golf Tournament. And as I don't play I just represented and greeted the people that came to "my hole". Good fun.



What a hard day of work... ;)

stupid pig jump

There was 3 seconds when I was standing there on the edge, 233 meters up in the air, looking down, when I thought shit shit shit. And then... I jumped!





My stupid pig jump (the direct Chinese translation of Bungy Jump) was over way too quick. But it was good while it lasted...

Why live on the edge when you can jump off!

extreme

What do you do when you've been extremely bored due to pneumonia and want to liven up things a bit?

If you are one of those people that believe that you are into massive adrenalin rushes, well then there's no other extreme experiences or theme park ride that will come close to throwing yourself down the side of the Tower of Macau.

So if this is what you decided on doing, even though your stomach has butterflies just writing about it..., you will still step on that ferry to Macau tomorrow morning to go and do, not only the most technical bungy jump in the world, but also the WORLDS HIGHEST BUNGY JUMP – 233m.

I must be f-ing crazy...

sanya

Some rain, some sun, long beautiful beach with white sand, relaxing days in a good hotel and lots of fresh sea air. That was the remedy. My coughing is gone and I now feel I have energy again. Mission "Recovery" accomplished.

Had a really nice time in Sanya, Hainan. China's paradise island. Actually people call it "the Oriental Hawaii". And my only question to this is: is that because the island sits roughly on the same latitude as Hawaii and enjoys similar temperatures and weather conditions or is it because all the Chinese friends and couples wearing unisex Chinafied Hawaiian combinations? (I know it's not nice to laugh, but I just can't help it...:-))

recovery

In the last few years the city Sanya, situated on the island Hainan - the most southerly province of China, has developed to become a get away from Hong Kong, where you can relax totally by strolling along the beaches and breathing the fresh air.

So I thought, why not go there and recover from my pneumonia.
A few lazy days on the beach... If that doesn't "heal" me, then I don't know what will.

Am leaving tomorrow morning, so see you in a few days time.
