Tamnanpar Classic Forest Restaurant

We heard of this famous special restaurant outside of Ban Phe, so we decided to go there today on the friday....so out with the motorcycles...

My wife the MC chick!!!

Amy is actually dangerous on the bike, she has now learned how to use the gas...it goes fast, especially when you are waiting at a crossing for the cars to pass and she turns the gas on....

Cows on their way to dinner....

Beautiful waterfalls next to our table...

Choosing what to eat...

Look into the camera Olivia!!!

They had won awards for the beautiful toilets...this on the mensroom...

Still in the mens toilet...

Ladies...

The food was also great....but the restaurant with everything in it was beautiful!!!

If you get the chance someday, go there!!!

Ban Phe - Här ska vi avsluta vår semester!

Så här ser huset ut som vi hyr, litet men helt OK.

Ni kan väl gissa vart jag tar min lilla kaffetår?

På baksidan, här äter vi frukost, spelar spel mm

På kvällarna brukar tre grodor komma fram ur en springa i golvet...

Monopolkväll! 

Plötsligt började det ösregna, det vräkte ner regn och tillslut så rann det in vatten under bordet och takrännorna svämmade över, men vi är ju vikingar så vi satt kvar!!!

Efter tre timmar gav jag Millan upp; jag var helt bankrutt...

Vinnare var Olivia med flest fastigheter & hotell och Julia med överlägset mest kontanter!

Olivia, Amy och Julia på beachen. Det är varmt och härligt i vattnet, och nästan tomt på folk på stranden.

Ett hundra tal unga killar underhöll oss en hel dag...det var tydligen unga studenter som gjorde någon sorts "inspark". Vi frågade Thailändarna, men de kunde inte förklara, deras engelska är ju inte den bästa.

Killarna höll varandra om axlarna och gick i ring och skrek, efter ett par steg måste dom huka sig och så höll de på i ett par timmar. Gjorde man det inte tillräckligt bra så slog ledarna till dom. En del fick som straff stå med huvudet i stranden i en timme. Två killar fick bära på en stock och gå fram och tillbaka över stranden i en timme...tre andra fick bilda en miniring och gå runt, runt och niga...

En annan aktivitet som de höll på med i timmar var att de bildade tunnel med huvudet ner i sanden upp med rumpan och ner med fötterna, sedan så ålade sig den som var längst ut till höger igenom  och ställde sig på samma sätt längst till vänster, vissa kollapsade och fick kramp, de fick då hjälp av ngn ledare som vred foten och sedan hade en liten piska och smällde till så att de kom igång igen...Jag trodde först det var någon slags invigningsritual till att bli man...det ser ut som att alla är i ungefär samma ålder.

Upp och ner.....

All in one day...

The day started with breakfast at the e-club (that´s what the hotels club is called) we then decided to take it easy by the rooftop pool for a while....
I have had issues with my ear and eyes on this trip, so the first thing I did when coming to Hong Kong I got the adress to a clinic to look at my ears, when I got there I found out it was a clinic only practicing Chinese medicine, so the doctor told me that everything would be well with some acupuncture and since I´ve never done that I said ok let´s try it...Needless (Hahaha) to say I got the "treatment" and it worked as long as I had the needles in me, that would be I didn´t feel the pain in my ear, but I felt the pain of the needles instead, when taking them away the pain came back... After this experience I tried the Queen Elisabeth hospital and waited in about 3 hours to see the doctor, got some medicine and went home... the pills didn´t work and when i told my friends they said I had to go to a "real" clinic because the hospital was no good.....

So we went to see a real ear doctor, who looked in the ear and told me that she needed to make a cut in the ear-membrane and give me some more pills....but I had to wait for an hour before the anaesthetic would work, so we were in luck our favorite restaurant was in the same building...T.G.I Friday´s... so some baby back ribs and then up to the aclinict to get a cut from the doctor and then we were on the go to Hong Kong Island...

Star Ferry is the way to go to HK Island...

Beautiful view of the conference and fair center...

Landing on Central, I realized we should have gone to Wan Chai, so we started walking, it was about 38 Celcius and we really didn´t think it was as far as it was...

Turn your head around a little bit and you see some of the great tall buildings....

Impressive....

This wall was in a shoppingmall we went through, cool on sight....

So after a long walk we ended up taking the taxi to the escalators (they go up the mountain through a resident and restaurant area with cuban, mexican, spanish and russian/ukraine food to the apartments upside HK Island).

And Irish of course....

Cuban cigars as well....

We had our aim set on the Italian restaurant Fat Angelo´s...really a good place with good food (a lot of it) and fair prices....the funny thing about Fat Angelo´s is that it´s not really an Italian behind it it´s a chinese guy who thought it sounded good and Italian....

Tha last evening in HK and we really wanted to stayed longer....

The Peak at night

We went with our friends Olivia and Terence to have dinner at the Peak, a famous landmark in Hong Kong were you can at a good day (or) night see the whole harbour and a big piece of Hong Kong....

This sign is showing the way, I decided last time I was up here to walk down since that would be the easiest way right? I met a couple of people going up and thought that they were really heroic (it´s steep) the only problem was that I hadn´t calculated how steep and long the way down was, so after 1 - 1 1/2 hour going down, my knees and legs were shaking I had to the whole way down press back against the road so I wouldn´t start runnig......

Well this time we went by car and finally on the top we found this icecream place we just "had" to try....before dinner of course, not like when I was a kid and everything sweet was after dinner....

Olivia and Terence at the restaurant....

We had meat for the first time in a couple of months and it was really good....

Ok... really the view was stunning up here and when you were looking down you just could see whole of Hong Kong and the ocean running between Kowloon and The HK Island, I can´t find words (or pictures apparently) to describe the beauty and feeling....

Need a better camera I think!!!

The gang......

A night with friends in Hong Kong

On friday night we were invited to eat at a wonderful Szechuan food restaurant really good chinese food at an amazing place in SOHO, thanks so much to our wonderful friends Agnes, Francesco,Cecilia, Sarah, Nelson, Jacueline, Olivia and Terence...after the dinner we went to a private nightclub owned by a friend of Agnes and Francesco...we had a blast!!!

Agnes, Francesco and a glimpse of Camilla and Amy...

At the nightclub we sang karaoke and had a really great time...

Beautiful ladies....

Francesco...a really good friend...and a great singer...Next time Volare!!

PURIKURA !! x)

Purikura är en slags fotoautomat med roliga bakgrunder och kameror.

Och varje fotobås, hade sin egna stil. :)

Det kluriga är att designa sina fotografier.

För det finns hur många alternativ som helst att välja mellan!

Julia smilar framför kameran.

Purikura finns nästan bara i Asien.

Vilket är synd, eftersom att det är så stört roligt.
