Hong Kong 7s


We shared our Hong Kong experiences with Jaco who jets off there this weekend to take part in the Hong Kong 10s rugby tournament which takes place in conjunction with the Hong Kong 7s. Jaco was talent-scouted to join an International Invitation team for the 10-a-side tournament which runs alongside the famous 7s tournament. Players of the likes of Jonah Lomu will be playing in the 10s.

Good luck Jaco.. it's going to be an awesome trip and we hope you get some good international exposure and possibly a new contract for 2012.

A night in Hong Kong - day/night 5

We ended our Hong Kong, China, Vietnam cruise as we sailed back into Hong Kong harbour at sunrise and tied up at the Ocean Terminal.

The KFML group then took us on a tour of the city to Hong Kong island and up the Victoria Peak tram, then over the mountains to Stanley market and beach, lunch to Aberdeen on the Jumbo floating restaurant and lastly to the Ladies Market where we were left to wander around and find our way back to our hotel where we checked in that afternoon for a final night stay before jetting home. In the evening we watched the spectacular laser show on the buildings of Hong Kong and then caught a ferry to Hong Kong island for supper in the pub area of Lan Kwai Fong.
