End of school year 2016

It's hard to know where t
The last 12 months have disappeared with the kids.
SO many things going on every week, and the year is consumed (again).
Both Jenaya and Kai have had a great year to finish at CDNIS.
And then we start looking forward to the next part of the journey !



The "no-so-little" man, holding centre stage.  again .... 


 That's our Naya, hitching up the skirt and off to Prom !









Kai boy, Catching up to dad on the office door !


out on the trail and Peak this morning



Plenty of rain coming down, and a decent fog up top at Victoria Gardens.
Hong Kong trail definitely some of the best backyard on the Island?



water gushing down making some of the falls look pretty spectacular 



Daisy and I, stopping for a selfie at the waterfall.

Naya's last day @ school

Well if it was serious before, the last week of study has been fairly solid too.
Good luck tomorrow Noodle (May2) - it's nearly all over!









more rugby & HK 7's .....

Kai's last club game of the season with Valley Fort 2's and the obligatory team shot!
Great team and fantastic support from coaches Andre and Dave.

Happy Valley 8, VF home ground !!

Lets play spot the #2 .... 





Yeh, well it's not often I get out to lunch.
A very entertaining speaker and story teller too.


Below shot is the Aust 7's team; most of which should be headed to Rio Olympics.

HK Trams.

We are massive fans of the HK trams, best way around HK 

Nicole's photo from earlier this week to share.


Hong Kong .... the last few (wet) days !

Sunday - wet wet wet ....    
Kai and I headed down to AMC to hammer a few laps on the F1 simulator.  
It's fair to say Kai boy has had a fair bit more practice than me and he smashed me on all four tracks (Albert Park, Silverstone, Abu Dhabi and China).   
He even got himself on the lap record board for the China track. 
Cheeky monkey !!








 There was loads of fog and low cloud.  This one rolled in and out over 10-15 minutes and was quite spectacular.  Nic got some great photos, here's a couple.  
Photos never really do it justice but this is pretty good crack.




HK Rugby Sevens ......

well the sevens had it all - and we did our best to make the most of some ridiculous wet weather!



 The opposition  (Aus v England)

 Go the Dutchy ! 

 The Hoff .....  hard to believe
