Wow… I woke up this morning and the clouds had gone and the sun had finally come out. I might get some good pictures today. Bron and I spent some time walking down long the harbour, we tried to pick out buildings that we remembered from long ago, however nothing is sacred in Hong Kong …
It was an early start to the day, I set the alarm on my phone to wake us up at 7.00 am, but the time had gone back to the Sydney zone and we were up at 5. It was even early for me. Macau is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of …

Our day started early again, ready for a 7.30am pick up. We headed off bound for our first stop, Hellfire Pass, which took about 2 and a half hours in a luxury mini-bus. It is great being able to travel through the outskirts of Bangkok and beyond and see how the landscape changes. On the …
