The Ritz Carlton Hong Kong: world's highest Hotel

Photos below from the 103rd Floor, the Reception of the new Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong, now a Must-see, I reckon for anyone coming to Hongkers: especially on a clear day like these were.  There are three restaurants -- Chinese, Italian and brasserie -- and a bar one further floor up on the 104th....
I went to check it out the other day (24/8) and here are some photos:
Looking South-eastish, over the Island to the South China Sea
The islands in the far distance are the Lima's and belong to China.

Below is where the Norman Foster West Kowloon Cultural
Hub's to be built

Ccentral.  That tall one is IFC 2, and where Jing works.

Looking South-west, towards Apleichau and Pokfulam.
Lamma Island in the distance

This is from the men's loo!

Mutti et al at the pool

Goodness me, months since I last did a post.... Mutti's already well back in Canberra -- "busy as a bee" she says -- and here's me not even having posted nuthin'....
Some photos of us at the pool on the 31st July and 1st August.  The Siena Club pool, about a hop skip and a jump from our front door...  As always, if you want to see bigger, just click on it.
In the background is "Tiger Head" mountain, that we climb regularly (esp Jing!)

The top floor behind John is the gym: one of the best in Hong Kong

That's Hong Kong Island in the distance.
