Junk Trip | Sai Kung

Last month we were invited onto our first Junk trip of the season. Hayley and Steve have began really good friends and we are blessed to have found them. We met them on a NYE junk trip, and both their girls go to the same school as Lilly. In fact their eldest moves to Izzy's school in August! Everyone gets on really well, and Hayley and I have become really good friends.
So this junk trip was organized by Hayley for her best friend from the UK and their family who were here on holiday.

We woke up nice and early, food prepped, swimming cozies and drinks packed along with plenty of suncream. Just as we are leaving, the heavens opened and we are forecast an Amber rain storm!
This is Hong Kong and it takes a black rain storm and a typhoon 8 warning before anything is cancelled. We all met at Sai Kung Pier and away we went!

And yes it rained for the majority of our trip, but its so warm that it didn't stop the children jumping off the boat and swimming out to the beach to play football!

Excuse the rather soft images, boat and rain make for a not so steady hand!

The lovely Hayley and Peter

Not a great photo, but one of Team B enjoying junking in the rain!

Having fun trying to catch water bombs being catapulted from another boat (of grown men I might add!!)

Thanks for stopping by

Andy Warhol | Hong Kong Art Museum

Yikes, I know friends and family, its been way to long since I uploaded this blog! Truth is we have been busy getting on with work, school, and living our new life out here.
The weather hasn't been great and April and May proved to be the wettest here in a long time, which has meant we haven't got out much. We also experienced a black rain storm, 12 hours of thunderstorms, rain and the most amazing and scary lightening I have ever seen. The New Territories where we live encountered  over 6,700 cloud to cloud strikes! the rain was so heavy for such a prolonged amount of time, that our garden wall collapsed. Schools were closed and it was all quite exciting and was the talk of HK for a few days!

The next few posts will not be in any date order to be honest, just what we fancy sharing with you!
Starting today with the Andy Warhol exhibition which was touring Asia through March ending on April 1st which was the day we made it.

"Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes" - Andy Warhol 

I was very excited to go and see this exhibition. I spoke to the girls about Andy Warhol and they were aware of the Campbell's tomato soup can, and Marilyn Monroe portraits, of which both were exhibited.

We loved the escalator ride into the Hong Kong Art Museum!

 And this wall, outside the museum, was just too much fun not to have an impromptu photo shoot!

fancy this one on the wall in the hallway!

Do check out the exhibitions at Hong Kong Art Museum, well worth a visit, and on a good day there are great views of the harbour!
