We lost no-one all day....

We lost no one all day long - definitely can be classified as a success!  We did send one camera on a lone return journey on the ferry - but all is well that ends well :-)

Sunday's at our house start late (well I did not hear anyone until 6.30 this morning, so that is definitely an improvement!) and generally involve Pacific Coffee for breakfast, church at 11.30am, lunch in town, the gym for Andrew in the afternoon and then a quiet evening at home with a nice glass of red...

Today was a bit different.  We started same same.  Breakfast at Pacific Coffee was Paninis for various fillings.  Yumm.

Learning about weird Japanese inventions over breakfast (sitting monkey style on the cafe chairs!)

We then headed of to our Church Service/Rock Concert.   The speaker this morning was Greg Smalley - son of Gary Smalley of Seven Love Languages fame.  He managed to keep the boys attention pretty well through the 40 minutes he spoke.  Kudos to him!

We then jumped on the tram to get back into Central to catch a ferry across to Discovery Bay.

that they are still alive....

It was a real challenge to find a kid friendly venue to watch the rugby here - most often it was being played in Adult-Only Pubs.  Discovery Bay is the 'Nappy Valley' of Hong Kong, and the rugby was Andrew's version of 'Hell on Earth'.  Not only did he have to watch Rugby, but he had to watch it amongst the noisiest bunch of Aussie supporting kids in the whole of Hong Kong.  Braden  and Jordan had a couple of cuties sitting next to them supporting Aussie.  They wanted to know why the All Blacks did the haka.  We told them that it was to scare the Aussies and they came back very quickly with 'does it work?'.  They also assured us that it did not scare them at all.  Guess the score would indicate that their illustrious Aussie  Team were scared!

Midway through the pre-match ordering of a late lunch we discovered we were short one camera.  Oh dear - those cameras are going to be the death of me!  Andrew went charging back to the ferry.... where the ticketing staff said they had indeed found a camera but had sent it back with the boat that had already left for HK.  They arranged for it to stay on the boat and we collected it an after the rugby when the boat returned back to Discovery Bay.  It had an adventure!

Home early tonight after last nights ultra late one.  Boys will be in bed by nine, and hopefully jetlag is now over.  Not sure of tomorrows plans yet - will depend a bit on our unpredictable weather.

Till then...
