    Aww Shelley how are you ? I hope you have a great trip we always think of the great time we had in HK - friendly people amazing sights.

     

     

    We're doing fine - we were due to go a repo cruise from Singapore to Dubai but we cancelled it and i'm sure you can see we've two cruises booked on the Brilliance around the Med - we can't wait.

     

     

    Take care and have a great trip - just in all the amazing sights/sounds/smells lol

    Hi folks i'm just back from the IOS and i can say there were some faults - the menu in our eyes was poor ( i had no complaints with the taste or it being served cold )

     

    Some food in the windjammer was cold - and we did run out of butter/semi milk ( i think with so many people onboard the food is geared to the masses )

    The first attempt to break the bottle of champagne during the naming ceremony of the world's largest cruise ship in Southampton ended in a splutter rather than a smash. LOL

     

     

    The role of ship's godmother is typically reserved for dignitaries or celebrities. But in a change Liz Hill, a 56-year-old farmer's wife from Derbyshire, was chosen to be godmother

     

     

    Liz's daughter Alicia, 13 yesterday, nominated her mum for having founded the Game Lea Countryside Training Trust, a charity for young people.

     

     

    Before the ceremony, which featured Scottish pipers and Irish dancers, mum-of-four Liz said: "It is such a great honour to name such a magnificent ship."

     

    As well as naming the ship, Liz - who has never been on a cruise - has been given VIP voyages for two for the next ten years.

     

     

     

    WOW VIP trips lovely lol

    Day 6 - Macau

     

     

    Depends where you're staying

     

    Ferry services operate to Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal on the Macau Peninsula from;

     

    Hong Kong Island (Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal at Sheung Wan)

     

    Kowloon (China Ferry Terminal, Tsim Sha Tsui)

     

    Pay the extra and go 1st class lol ( only a few dollars more )

     

    Visitors of nearly all nationalities can enjoy a visa free stay of between 30 and 90 days. So you'll have to take your passport with you ( you leave and re-enter HK )

     

     

    We visited the old Protestant Cemetery - Ruins of St Pauls - the famous square - check this walking tour http://www.macauheritage.net/mherit/map/mhmapE.asp

     

     

    After lunch we headed to Cotai Strip - The New Las Vegas its going to be amazing.

    Please plan for lengthly waits at Border/Customs Control arriving and leaving Macau.

     

     

    And so you'll know me when ever we bump into each - here is a link to our HK photos
