HK - Day 5: Ngong Ping 360 cable car, Tai O village and dragon boat racing!

HK - Day 5: Tian Tan Buddha and and Po Lin Monastery.

HK - Day 4: South Hong Kong Island tour - Repulse Bay, Stanley and Aberdeen. A bit on the roasting side today but nice to see beaches and how people in Hong Kong like to play. Alice found another temple too 😊😍.

HK - Day 3: Hong Kong Island bus tour, Central-Mid-Levels v long line of escalators
up a very big hill pass the bars of Soho, the smoky Man Mo Temple and up Victoria Peak. The view was beautiful despite the brooding skies. What a place.

HK - Day 2: Chi Lin Nunnery, Nan Lin Gardens and S*k S*k Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple.
Chi Lin Nunnery was beautiful. We met a very passionate lady who taught the kids how to pray to Buddha in the temple to ask for long term happiness. Alice was quite taken by that. A calm and beautiful place in a busy city.
We learned about ancient architecture of traditional wooden buildings at the gardens and visited the golden pagoda.
We then nearly all roasted to death in a combination of midday sun and incense sticks at the Taoist temple but spotted some turtles swimming with the koi carp that made everyone happy!

Hong Kong - Day 1: exploring Mong Kok at night. It was all floodlit round here so it felt like day light. The kids were a little overwhelmed by their first smells, sights and sounds in this very busy part of HK, as you can see by their faces 😂.

Day 7: Arromanches-les-Bains and Longues-sur-Mee Batterie.

We loved the Bayeaux Tapastry. Adding to our work on the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings last year, this time we were getting to grips with the Normans. The kids really enjoyed it.

Day 5 &6: D-Day Experience at Carenten, Saint-Mere-English, American Airborne Museum and Pointe du Hoc.

Day 5: Following Great Grandad Green’s journey on 6th June 1944 at Sword Beach and Hilman Fortress, plus a look at the awesome Pegasus Bridge.

Day 4: submarines!

Day 2: Portsmouth. Mary Rose museum was just astounding; a beautiful museum for adults and kids. I had no idea there was so much retrieved. Really enjoyed learning about the Naval and Nelson at the Royal Naval museum and loved exploring HMS Warrior. Another brilliant day!
