Dragon boat comeback.

Last year was a dragon boat year, this year I choose not to paddle. But I got a chance to drum!

Lesson number 2:

 The Lamma 500 race, Go Blazing Paddles!

NZ Coromandel here we come

We are now heading towards Anglers Lodge on the west side of the Coromandel Penninsula. The last couple of days we will spend at a place run by a Swedish family of three generations. 

NZ White water rafting....

OMG!

We all have different levels of fear factors, mine is definitely rough water....So hubby booked a white water rafting and I was not planning on going. But the pressure was on and I went.

The first drop was not to bad...

 There was a point where you could get out before the 7 meter drop.....But after some serious convincing from the people around, we decided to stay...only 20% risk of flying out of the boat...

 Yeah!!!!!! The only person still in the boat is....

 Marcus!!!!

Well done Taeck Family!

In the stream....again

I just love it...

although there might be snakes in the water...

or in the bushes...

leeches, spiders, frogs, other creatures....

It is very satisfying to push the limits!

Enjoy:-)

Rumble rumblar till Tung Po

This is probably the most cultural and craziest Hong Kongish experience I will get.

We went to Tung Po for our last "Rumble" before summer holiday.

OMG! What a crazy place...I have no words for it!

Me, myself and I today- Me, my role model

Some days are just very good days....

I have managed to have a very efficient day today

 My 8k trail running this morning...

 followed by a dip in the pool and some strength and yoga.

 Off for a cup of coffee and then off to the library for some studying.

 And after that a lovely lunch with a lovely lady, whom I am going to miss terribly after this summer..

Back to the books again...

Magic moments-in love with my hiking!

 Today we did our "backyard hike" all the way down to the Country Club and it was totally amazing.

I just cant get enough of this!

 Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club

 Tin Hau, lovely seated just by the water overlooking Hong Kong Island.
