Hiking in Hong Kong
Our legs, knees, and joints were in for a good workout Friday morning as we joined the walking group for a three-hour hike at the Dragon's Back Trail near Shek O. We were on the slow end and got ourselves slightly lost at the peak of the trail. Nothing too alarming.
A friendly local fellow guided us back to the junction, which, by the way, didn't have a sign indicating where the trail exit was. When most people think of Hong Kong, they don't associate it with nature, hiking, or a detailed trail network. We are certainly hooked and will join the walking group again next Friday.

Planning Our Southeast Asia Trip
We spent the better part of last week planning our upcoming trip around Southeast Asia. Wednesday was all bureaucracy, applying for visas for China. We will pick up our passports on Monday and walk right over to the Vietnamese visa office and repeat the process. It takes 4-5 days to get each visa.
We are planning a train trip through Southeast Asia and China to Hanoi, Vietnam. Without getting into too much detail, we'll be in Vietnam for a couple of weeks, then move on to Cambodia and Thailand. We will return to Hong Kong for a few days at the end of March. After a quick stop in Copenhagen, we will continue to Canada in April.
