Change of Weather



This time of year in Hong Kong is always delightful.
After a long very humid hot and stormy summer the weather changes to cool nights, dry sunny days and clearer skies.
Walking up the hill to the bus is no longer a sweaty chore, sitting on the balcony in the afternoon is pleasantly breezy and warm, and hiking becomes the pastime of the week.
I have just returned from attending Year 5 and 6 Camps. Week One - Year 5- was spent up in a National Park where we hiked around the island of Tap Mun (Grass Island). We were rewarded with this stunning view looking out towards the east coast of the USA.
Week Two- Year 6 was spent on the island of Lantau, where we visited the Big Buddha. I loved this sign, displayed in the gardens around the Monastry, and will enlarge the photo to stick on my fridge at home.

Annie - I agree with you regarding the sign. It is a GREAT sign. I should probably have it tattooed on my forehead, but I think posting on the fridge (and perhaps my bathroom mirror) will have to suffice!

Great photos, I can empathise about the weather, we are going the other way so I envy you

My kids made the comment that "luckily, mum, you keep the red wine out of the fridge...'
