Home again

Canberra has greeted us with some serious weather - yesterday was a max of 7 deg with light snow. After 35deg+ in Hong Kong last week it's quite a shock. Needless to say we are not having much outdoor activity but the house is always cosy.

Hong Kong was great - just enough time to catch up on some sleep, some early morning walks before it got too hot then ferry and tram rides later in the day to see the sights without getting too hot. One of the best sights was from our 11th floor hotel room which had spectacular views across the harbour.

Spent a great evening with friends from the Chinese Uni where Phil worked some years back - good to catch up with them again and hear about the way things are developing in HK since its return to China.
