Ngong Ping. Hong Kong Day 5

The Big Buddha was our plan for today and to visit there with friends of Sandy and Martin from Dubai. David's parents are over here with them so we made a group of six...and had a lovely day together.

After the big climb up the hill to see the views from the top, and making our way back down again, we enjoyed a wonderful ...and very interesting...selection of vegetarian food prepared by the nuns and monks from the monastery. Not all of it recognisable and with varying likes and dislikes, but we appreciated it and shared a lot of laughter together.

This evening Martin made a really delicious...and very recognisable...minestrone soup. Replete we are! ( My dad's favourite word! Full up was not one he used! We four never really understood what it meant, but Mum did!)
