Elaine and Doc Joepet Laraya walking towards the Lantau Veterinary Services.

This is South Lantau Road on a typical day - no or very minimal traffic. :-) Buses ply this road though, going between
Mui Wo (where the ferry port to/from HK island is located)
and Tai'O (oldest fishing village in HK)
or Ngong Ping (site of the Big Buddha)
or Tung Chung (nearest community to the HK international airport).

Doc Joepet, a Filipino vet who owns and practices in that clinic, hosted us for a night.
The three other ladies are our graduating students doing externship with Doc Joepet for 5 weeks.
(Jerilee Penalba, Marinelle Barola and Christine Batol)


The Big Buddha... (the one on top of the hill ha....) :-)
This is Pui'O beach where we took 11 dogs for an early morning walk (5:30am)!
Can't see the dogs here - they were let loose and were running around, exploring the beach.

Below was taken on Pier 9, Hong Kong side.
Across the strait is the Tsim Sha Tsui area, where the sloping building of the
HK cultural center could be seen.

A ride in the Duk Ling - the junk boat. :-)
And a walk in the park (Victoria Park)... gotta have water on hand.
Another ride - this time the peak tram - only in HongKong!

View from the top:
And of course, the Ladies' Market...

Nga pala -
This was the reason I was in HK lately - to attend the 6th World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology.
Elaine and I also presented a poster during the Congress (just so we have a reason that we HAVE to be there).
