Arrived in Phnom Penh

Tuesday January 3 Yesterday in Hong Kong was a fun day. We had a tour of the city including the peak tram (great view of the city), then to Aberden where we had a ride on a sampan with an old fisherman to visit the floating village. Then to a jewelry factory where Dave got a Buddha pendant and Linda bought a Chinese junk pendant. Back on the bus to Stanley where there is a market and, a nice promenade where we had a drink. We saw a small dog wearing a soccer shirt and four tiny nikes! Ron and Margaret Walton arrived and we went out to dinner close to the hotel at a Cantonese restaurant...we found out that Ron isn't a big fan of Chinese food but luckily he liked what we ordered. We had crab claws, duck breast with fl fois GRAS, Kobe beef and stuffed scallops-all excellent! Met part of our group at the HK airport this morning - Jan and Peter Ricard, Walter and Donna Ried, Steve and Janice Hayhurst, Rick and Cheryl Hunter. Very interesting ride into the city. Now having a drink while we wait for our room. $2.00 for a Margarita. $0.75 for a beer. Ruth Bell-Towns arrived in Phnom yesterday and she was on a tour today. Life is good! Linda and Dave
