Beijing 07

Some iconic Chinese images gathered from our recent trip to Beijing. It was a great city with loads of history and plenty to do and see. Great food (apart from bugs/snakes/scorpian kebabs in the night market which were all given a wide berth) and uber-hip bars. Highlights were treking along 6 miles of the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the 798 Art district which has contemporary art galleries in huge old factories and warehouses.



































Moji Eagle

Here are a couple of pics of our cat - Moji. She is mental, but very cute. Kath is not happy with the fact that Moji seems to think her leg is a scratching post and by being woken up every morning with a sloppy lick of the chin (no not from Jake).


Wedding - Koh Chang

Our wedding in Thailand, on the beautiful island of Koh Chang 18/02/07. As you can see (or maybe remember if you made it) it was paradise and we were so lucky to have so many friends and family there to share it with us.



























Japan 07

Below are some highlights from my trip to Japan with my school kids (notably absent in these photos which makes it look more like a holiday and not work). They include a trip to Hiroshima which was very moving, a visit to Miyajima (the red temple place) and some interesting liquour 'stores'.



































Lantau Island Hike

Here are some pics from our hike along Lantau Island - as you can see we are complete hiking geeks. Yes, that's a specialist hiking type top on me and Kath is sporting a hikers bum-bag. However, it's all worth it - the views are amazing.
