Ngong Ping 360

Well the coffee situation is getting ridiculous, the hotel coffee was bad again so the boys did their share of complaining.....Starbucks was a port of call today but in a different place & that was better than yesterday's but still not to their liking...we had lunch up at Ngong Ping and they ordered coffee there and you guessed it....awful bitter coffee....so now they are thinking that is the way that they like it....so it could be a long wait for a decent coffee for the boys....
We did the gondola up to the Buddha at Ngong Ping, it took around an hour to get to the front of the line and then a 20 minute trip up to the top....they have new gondola's that have a glass bottom, it's a pretty cool way of seeing what is under you....We have had no luck with our shopping everything has either been more expensive than it is at home or just junkie stuff....we are not defeated yet though.......heading into China tomorrow so hopeful that we can find some nice presents to bring home......
Can't see our Abb's being too happy if I gave her Belgium carrots for dinner.

Bamboo scaffolding anyone....

Dog parking, same as above our girl would not be happy to be parked there...

This dog was so good he/she sat there for so long, I was tempted to take it with me....don't think that I would get it through Customs though.

Hire bikes, I did suggest that it would be fun to go for a ride but no the other three thought it was a bad idea..

And they pack up so well...


Pity about the reflection but you get the idea..

So smoggy today I knew yesterday was a rare event.

Glass bottom gondola...


Just to prove that Dan and I walked the 4 million stairs to the top and Greg and Ethan stayed at the bottom, such lazy peeps...


Think that there is a word missing on this sign, cause no one will do what they are asking...buy 4 get 2.

Just a few of our friends on the afternoon train...

What the hell is this parking called? it was the closest parking job I have ever seen...talent or stupidity? Just lucky it wasn't me parking the result would not have been the same..

From the top of the 4 million stairs...

Ethan did some training at the track last night......in the morning there is a Tai Chi group there that have swords flapping around....probably not a good idea to run while they are doing that...
