Cheeky Monkeys

At first glance the picture below seems like just an innocent snap of two happy friends in Hong Kong. On closer inspecion however you will notice that both Rob and Nikki seem a little preoccupied. This would be because of the 'rabid' monkey dancing around behind them. i will let Robyn tell the story in full but lets just say they made quite a few little friends that day.
I admit that the blog has been somewhat abandoned recently due to my parents arriving and there being much entertaining. I kept on getting home after a day out with them having the intention to write something but just kept falling asleep insetead. On their first weekend here I took them both to see the "Big Buddha", via cable car. It was quite funny because dad got quite nervous at some parts of the journey.
Don't let his happy front fool you, the man could not look at the view behind him at this point...
During the daytime whilst i was at work they went on little expeditions of their own. They took a journey up the peak and dad discovered a toilet with what has to be the best view in the world. He felt the need to take a picture of this view.

They also met some of my students that I tutor on a monthly basis in he evenings. They came along to one of our meetings and were quite a hit.
I took them up to the revolving restaurant during an afternoon and managed to get this amazing picture from above showing where we live in Hong Kong.

This is a vast chunk of Wan Chai, if you follow the direction that the yellow crane is pointing in the bottom right of the picture, we live in the first big clump of buildings you get to.

OK, I have to dash and jump in a shower now. Today is my folks last full day and we are going to Lama island (for the second time) to have some seafood and get away from the city for a bit.
