A peaceful start to the morning. Hearing chnting and smelling the incence burning, I was on the bike at 9am; and yes, today was supposed to be a rest day - but to cycle around town, is just he most convenient! F16s fly overhead showing off the expensive machines. Over the bridge at a pineapple cake store, I ask for directions. This lady was very kind and searched the web too, to give GOH a call. I am tempted to buy some, but I think I'd just be paying for the packaging. The office was a little far away, and I arrived exhausted and still disapointed about the mysterious photo disapearance. The staff welcomed me warmly and
cheered me up, ot only with fresh orange juice and chocolate..but also started to succesfully recover all of my photos using some magical program; I was extremely relieved. We went to a, what seemed to be famous old place for lunch.. and ate delicious seafood dumplings in soup and spicy dry noodles. Then, off to see the Japanese generals house ontop of a mountain with a great view of the harbour. Back at te GOH office, I got to first see glass artwork being produced right infront of me. Then try my hand at making someglass beads myselp! At first  was scared, being this close to fire, but the workers, were funny and said it was very safe. What a fine, and fun job! I rode up to Mei luen park mountain, just for short glimpse of big Micky [mouse]and the city, not wanting to climb up too high as legs were in a bit of pain, also thinking f tomorrows ride to Su ao. I rode down lit up ZhongShan st. onto the harbour for some nightmarket snacks before cruising back [in ligh rain - not promising!] to the Temple for an early sleep.
