Today the Aki’s invited us to lunch with their family, who is visiting. We went to the R66, the revolving restaurant at the top of the Hopewell Centre. Actually the building is still, and the floor of the restaurant revolves like a huge phonograph record. If you were still and watched the concrete pillars around the windows you could actually feel it move. The food was wonderful and if you didn’t have enough it wasn’t their fault!

Our weather has been very foggy this spring, and today was more of the same. Not good if you are having lunch in a "view" restaurant, but it was still beautiful. Everything had that "other world" feeling.
The fog tuned to rain and did it ever! We had great plans to play tennis one last time with Vivien, but it rained too hard and turned all the courts to ponds. But we went anyway, Vivien, Ashley, and Us. This is the first time Ashley has been out to Vivien’s house. In fact it’s the first time she has been out to this part of the New Territories, so it was fun for a couple of "out-of-towners" to show an actual Hong Kong native around.
Serious tennis players?
We had dinner at Pizza Hut, and then headed back home still carrying our un-used rackets.
Beautiful gardens at Vivien's residents
Rained out again!
