Gran Canaria - our escape to the sun

Mum and me escaped to Gran Canaria for a week to get away from the dark nights and cold weather. here's the pics more info to follow.

Sydney Harbour

This pic of mum and me is on our first day in sydney. We'd got the underground from where we were staying and when we arrived at sydney harbour the underground turned into an overground and it must have the best view from a station in the world. We arrived to bright blue sunshine and an amazing view of the bridge and the opera house.

It was really weird, you see these building on new years eve celebrations and expensive holiday programmes and i never thought i'd be lucky enough to see them.

Hong Kong Part Two!

We chickened out on the chinese food in hong kong as we had been warned by people that the food was nt the standard chinese fayre we would be used to> we were nt wrong either chicken livers<>

(my keyboard is playing up hence no commas and full stops!)

the picture is of me looking like i am about to get shot whilst looking at the tacky souvenirs and fake goods in the night markets around hk> the night markets we re okay typical tourist fayre but you could get an odd bargain i bought some fake tiffany jewellr which looks no different from the real thing> mum bought some jade tat and the the best photo opportunity (which i haven t put on here) is of mum posing outside some stalls but the stalls are selling butt plugs dildos and other marital aids!!!!

Club Foot

I can confirm (as instructed by my mothers lawyers) that my mum does not have a club foot like this or any other foot deformity. Only swelling caused by the long flight from Heathrow to HK....

Hong Kong March 2006

Okay sorry i'm going to bore you all with holiday pictures pictures.

Back in March mum and me went on a jolly to Australia, before that we had a stop off in hong kong. We stayed on HK island for the duration great location, transport links were cool. On the downside it was misty as hell and it felt as if you were in New York or any other hi rise corporate city. I prefered Kowloon island where there was more character and the contrast between rich and poor was very noticable.

Mum was knackered after about an hour in HK i was dashing off at a million miles an hour (as i usually do) and mom was hobbling around with her club foot! (sorry mum). Bundling her into the back of a ricksaw was a very tempting idea.....
