Top Deck Floating Restaurant

The Top Deck restaurant is on the top deck, duh! of the Jumbo Floating Restaurant in Aberdeen, HK.
When you arrive at the pier, you are taken across by an ornate ferry/sampan, past the larger-than-life
millionaire's yachts in the Marina.    The purple yacht is my favourite, but the girls told me it resembles
a grape juice box.   We saw a yacht, well, it was more the size of a cruise ship, with a speed boat in its "boot".   But the best sight of all was the beautiful clear blue skies.    There is no better way to spend a 
Sunday in Hong Kong!





 I was so glad that we had booked the pagoda way in advance.   We felt like royalty, had a super view, and our champagne glasses were topped-up so frequently, we lost count of how many glasses we actually had!


The mussel pot is a new addition to the already staggering variety of sea food, and we were shown how to dispose of the shells by a professional seafood eater :)



We were there from 11.30 to 4pm and lost count of the number of freight container ships that passed by on the horizon, dwarfing the sail boats in the foreground.











Make hay while the sun shines!   October is the best month!

Tall chestnut trees line the opposite bank of the river that runs through Mandy's property.  Unfortunately, the chestnut season is at its very end in August when I visit, and new leaves are already sprouting. Her neighbour Francis has the most spectacular hydrangeas, or Christmas Roses, as we call them.  Francis is very generous, and invites us over every Christmas morning to pick armfuls for our Christmas table.   We add some of Mandy's agapanthus and lavender, some Dorothy Perkins climbing roses, open a bottle of JC le Roux Champagne and then all of a sudden, it's Christmas!  Mandy calls them "see perdjies" (sea horses).   A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!  Don't know their actual name, but I love all purple and blue flowers. This beautiful spot is enjoyed by the local bird life as well, with the peacocks and guinea fowls taking prime position, being fed by all the families who live along the river. ...
