Mm Links January 2013 Week 1 – New Players Welcome
This is Queen Christiana, the Cheerful One, full of mince pies and Christmas cheer, inviting old friends and new to join in this month’s ‘Guess the Links’ Game (Rules will appear in a new posting below).
Early last year I celebrated a Big Birthday and so decided to go on a Big Trip – to Australasia - for around three months. This month’s links will be based (loosely) on the places I visited, accompanied by my friend, Manxiemo, a widow, like me, whom I’ve known for many years.
First up was Hong Kong, where we travelled on the Star Ferry, visited Ocean Park, braving the cable cars and creating a furore by trying to take sandwiches in (in the end we smuggled them through), and also causing mayhem on the underground when Manxiemo got her leg caught in a turnstile (don’t ask!). Other highlights included a visit to a Buddhist Monastery on Lantau Island, and, on our last day, when the mist eventually departed, a trip up Victoria Peak with its far-reaching views over Hong Kong.
