Thai Spice

Hahaha...... I am not going to argue with " Le bras de la Loi" !

Sangsom coke with.a cheese platter aint gonna do it......

Nice to see you here Pumpuy !

Agreed. I drink dry white wine with seafood usually. Muscadet or Entre Deux Mers And of course.a sweeter white wine with foie gras !

Asian food tonight ! Noodle soup with beefball / fishballs. Ingredients brought back from HKG, as not easy to find good ones here.

A few examples from the HiSo days in HKG... And one of my favorites....ice cream with a glass of red wine, and a cookie !

If you come to Bali, let me know !

Used to drink wine every evening at dinner at home in BKK. Of course only French stuff. But considering the prices here in Indo, I gave up on that except for special circumstances.... The local Rosé I have here sometimes at lunch, I dont count it as a wine !

Port is for women !

I stand corrected.

Lazy at the swimming pool. High season is over, and the resort is nearly empty , means we have the pool nearly for us alone !

Yep, shared with a good mate.

Selection here way better ! You dont have 7 different cheeses EK Business !

Gin tonic at HKG airport

No biscuits for French, but proper "baguette" and butter !

Nice cheese platter yesterday at lunch in TST. More pics later. Today back to Bali and TBH, I cant wait to get out of HKG !

Met a few friends yesterday in my Wanchai regular. Good time was had, the Miss even reverted to Tequila.... One thing it confirmed to me is that I made the right choice to leave and retire ! Bali is maybe not paradise but sure much closer to it than HKG !

On the HKG ferry

None of those in the Bali house. Same as fried fish...no way. But in the jungle kitchen....well thats outside my juridiction !

Arrived in the hotel in HKG. Simple IBIS thing, minimal room. Went 30 min in the streets nearby to buy a local SIM, a bottle of whisky and some coke, and that was enough for them bloody Chinese to be on my nerves. Hell, how did I manage 8 years here ? Bali is paradise compared to this. No Wanchai this evening, need to have a clear head tmrw morning to sort out my stuff here. Ok, having a few drinks in the room. The Miss is out shopping...she has spend nearly 15 y here, speeks the language, and obviously adapt much easier than this old frog !

Plane at the next gate , flight to China, boarding area a real chicken farm. But the name of the airline made me smile....

Omelette was edible , noodle soup was shiite according to the Miss... Next time I'll stick to a large Bintang !

Bali airport. "Gastronomic" breakfast and now waiting for the plane. Omelette, coffee, 1 noodle soup. 270,000 IDR (600 B)

Wont be much time for tourist stuff, but I'll try to make some pics !

Wake up time, at 07.00 am off to the airport. We are doing a 5 day trip to HKG to collect some stuff I still have over there. And of course to meet some mates in Wanchai !
