A place called Dreamland - Bali, Indonesia April 2009

Body surfing as the sun sets at an amazing little cove called Dreamland. "Discovered" by surf pioneer Kim Fly Bradley in the early 70s, who passed away in late March. We got repeatedly clobbered by the surf in his honor and had a lot of fun.















Bali Dance Extravaganza - April 2009















The show Peter put on for us every night...and morning...and afternoon...andandand.



David demonstrates the moves that have all the HKIS ladies swooning


Audrey gives it a shot as well...
Snorkeling trip, Bali - April 2009

We took advantage of the glass bottom boat to see the fish...and David the frogman.







The HongKong Star Ferry and the Peak - April 2009






HongKong Ocean Park - March 2009
























Ailey loves the Viking Ship ride...

Crazy cliffside roller coaster Ailey rode at least 5 times.




HongKong Disneyland, take 2 - March 2009

Autopia was a strange attraction. Longest line of anywhere in Disneyland...to drive a miserable little car with extremely limited steering and speed control. Must have been made in America.






Ailey makes her dad hurl on the teacups...




Space Mountain!




The silly pictures at the end became more fun than the ride...


After seven tours of Space Mountain, we became so bored with the ride that Ailey fell asleep.


We happened upon this crazy zoetrope that blew me away. So tuff...
HongKong Rugby Sevens - March 2009

After 10+ years of contuniuous attendance followed by a 10 year absence, we return to the Sevens. Unfortunately, no one under 18 is now allowed in the south stands so Ailey did not enjoy the full experience of the pie man, beer wenches, aerial malted beverages, standing up if you hate the French and the occasional bare breasted lass. But she did get to see some rugby...and the Kenyans came to play, defeating the Kiwis in the quarters.

Your typical Sevens fan - gaga over rugby!


Off for another beverage and a quick south stand visit with Parfait Pete.
