High On the top of Tai Mo Shan

Hello My Dear Great Ones,

A couple of weeks ago Celia and I went up to Tai Mo Shan (Big Foggy Mountain--the tallest mountain in Hong Kong) with some friends from Australia.  It was a beauty of a hike as usual.  Great views and the trail back to our place is remarkable. The first group of photos are from my Samsung phone and the last group of pics are from Celia's I phone.  You decide which are better. 

Great views looking out to China.

A view of Kowloon and Hong Kong.

We met a herd of cattle on top.  They are the decendants of cows once used for farming centuries ago.

The following photos are from Celia's phone:

 The Howetts from Sydney, Australia.  They were on "summer," break visiting family.  They have known Celia for years.

 Walking through bamboo.

All in all it was great day.  We were all however a little sore later except for the kids.  Would be nice to have younger legs.

Have a great week.  Love adios and ping on!

Siquijor Underwater World

Hello My Dear Great Ones,

Siquijor has an awesome marine reserve.  I wish all of the water surrounding the islands of the Philippines was a marine reserve for what is taken care of is astounding.  Siquijor's marine reserve included.  For several hours Celia and I drifted over the reserve amazed at what we saw.  I will let the following pictures speak their 10 000 words each.

Have a great week everyone!

Love adios and ping on!
