A SECOND BITE OF THE CHERRY

In April and May this year, my wife and I took our second trip from Sydney which crossed the hemispheres from south to north and east to west crossing the globe cutting across the South Pacific all the way to the North Atlantic in London. Our first trip was made 19 years ago when we took our children except for the older son who was in University from Sydney to Beijing and then made an 'excursion' from Beijing to London to begin our 9 countries land tour of the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Vatican, France and back to London, Beijing and Sydney. Even in today's jet speed travel, it would have taken a whole day for the journey but we were wiser this time and traveled both ways with a break in Hong Kong to get rid of the jet lag.
Our experience this time was more rewarding too as we have become more seasoned travelers. We have covered cities more thoroughly and learned a lot about many nationalities and cultures than last time even though the walking tours were quite tiring with our advancing age but we have found that more things do get better in age as we have become more knowledgeable. Including Hong Kong and China, we have covered 11 countries this time, transversing Italy, Greece, Turkey, the Vatican, France, Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal and the UK. By the time we arrive Sydney we have spent just over 7 weeks so we weren't rushed around like we were almost two decades ago and had time to digest what we saw along the way.

中馬混血女經理，估計她二十五上下，一直忘不了，回港後還做了一個夢，夢境是她變成老闆的女兒，我則去了那工廠當老總，與她一齊把業務推到全世界。既然這個美夢絕不能實現，只好寫首詩啦！

One received from Tommy Lam (林穎源) Vancouver. "We had a small "yum cha" gathering in Vancouver for chit chat on Apr 11 2013. It was nice to meet KK Cheung after 50 years & Anthony Poon 3 years I believe."

One received from Raymond Ng 吳寶鑑, a phote taken with Peter Liu 廖文豪 in Lanzarote, Canary Islands during Raymond's recent cruise holiday. "What an experience to be able to meet a school mate in a small island in the Atlantics after 49 years. I spent a couple of hours to lunch with him in a small restaurant reminiscing our old school days."

My wife, Margot, and I took a cruise of the western Caribbean on the Carnival Legend in March of 2013. The one-week cruise departed from Tampa, Florida, on a Sunday afternoon, and we were at sea the whole day on Monday. That gave us a chance to locate all the restaurants, lounges and bars on board and to check out the amenities that we might enjoy during the cruise.

Tuesday morning brought us to Cozumel - an island on the east side of the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. The first Catholic mass in Mexico was celebrated by the Spaniards on this island in the early 1500’s. We chose an excursion which took us to several touristy places. The highlight was Discover Mexico Park, where miniature Mexican landmarks are replicated in a tropical garden setting. We also caught a Mayan rain dance performance in which a group of men were revolving upside down in mid air around a very tall pole with their ankles tied to a rope. Afterwards, the tour continued to El Mirador (an expansive stretch of jagged rock formation with a spectacular view of the coastline), and the Hacienda Antiqua (where we learned about the process of making tequila and sampled drinks with various flavorings). The last stop was the public market and shopping district of San Miguel. To my surprise, there are quite a number of high-end stores selling world-wide brand name merchandise. Apparently Cozumel is a very popular destination for cruise ships. On the average, thirty per week dock here during the winter months.
