Sven

Hello Great Ones,
My brother Sven is with me for the next week.  He arrived on time, Friday evening, and after taking the bus ride from the airport and a small tour of Kowloon City he declared that he was ready to transfer from Doha, Qatar, (otherwise known as the closest thing to the moon on earth,) to one of the greatest places on earth: Hong Kong.

The next day I got him huffing and puffing up the road to the peak.  He wanted to take the tram, but forget it only wimpy tourists do that.   He whined quite a bit, but at the top he said he was happy to have walked up. We stayed up at the peak till it got dark and took some great pictures.  I have a new camera with a panaroma feature so that was cool.

On Sunday I took Sven to the Vine and afterwards we ate lunch with friends at Agave, the best Mexican restaurant this side of Mexico.  Then we headed to Big Wave Bay and rode the waves.  It was great fun.  Sven had to buy some trunks at the beach.  They have nice Hibiscus flowers on them.  Sweet.

Then we headed back on the Kowloon Ferry.  Tomorrow Sven goes to the bird market and Shenzen.  Will be fun.

Love adios and peng on,

Dirk
