14) THE HEIGHT OF FANTASTIC





I LOVE HELICOPTERS!

I LOVE HELICOPTERS!

Most people are aware that Hong Kong is the most densely populated city in the world, yet very few know that over 40% of the land mass is comprised of protected green spaces. This morning, just before our 'goodbye lunch' we took a helicopter tour of Hong Kong - and to describe the views in a single word: spectacular.

My last interview was also a success - sitting on the sun drenched deck of the private Pacific Club, drinking espresso with the Swiss chef and sampling the latest coffee craze here - java sweetened with caramel sauce. The sun was setting, the haze was clearing and Tsam Tsui across the bay was finally visible. Below are a sampling of shots from the helicopter ride. My internet will be cut off shortly, so unless I find wireless at the airport, this will be my final Asian post.

    Soooooo jealous. I love helicopters too! I really really want one, but apparently they cost in the 10s of millions. Oh well. Maybe Stephen Harper will give me a tax-break so I can spur the economy and buy one...actually it might be better if he just gave me a helicopter. Hey, Harper, give me a helicopter and I'll vote for you! Ceri might, too, I hear she likes helicopters as well.

    See you soon, safe trip home!

    Wonderful blog and nice pictures that really complement the text. Congratulations Ceri! What about South America for your next destination. You have a house in Bogota, don't forget that.
