Sydney- Australia

Leaving Hong Kong we arrived in Sydney, Austrlia to be met by 35 degree heat.


Our first stop was the bustling Darling harbour with its many visitor attractions.


We took a ferry over to Watsons Bay passing the famous opera house and Sydney harbour bridge. From Watsons bay we took the short bus ride to the famous Bondi beach.




A visit to the Sydney fish market is a must for lovers of seafood, with a vast selection of fresh fish and cafe's selling ready prepared dishes of the daily catch.

A trip to Hong Kong

Leaving Cyrpus from Larnaca airport we flew to Bahrain airport and then onto Hong Kong. We have found Hong Kong to be an amazing City, with incredible views from Kowloon across the bay to Hong Kong Island.


We walked down to the harbour and joined the tour that sails around the harbour which gives great views of the Laser light show from the skyscapers either side.

A must for any visitor is a trip upto "The Peak" by means of a very steep cable car, the views from the top are simply breathtaking.


In the evening we caught the Metro system up to the market areas and strolled around looking at the colourful sights and boisterous noise of this unique area.
