James and Sally descending the Grand Staircase at the Peninsular Hotel.
On arrival the white gloved doorman hurry to open the Limousine doors, and whisk you inside from the chilly night air and escort you through the magnificent white marbled entrance Hall to your Restaurant, where you are delivered into the hands of the Maitre'd...........and so your sumptuous evening begins...............
A view of the Peninsular towering above the harbour, and the roof top restaurant, just below are the Presidential Suites........
This is the view from the roof top Restaurant Felix at the world famous Peninsular Hotel.Hello Everyone,
What better place to celebrate a night on the town than Hong Kong, taking in the city lights and dinner at the Peninsular Hotel with it's panoramic views..................certainly an evening to remember. There are a multitude of places to dine, some formal, some informal and some very casual. Everything from traditional Chinese to International cuisine, allowing for every taste.
Enjoy these Harbour views...............
The impressive and majestic Lobby Bar...............
Just a small corsage please.....................
The opulent Reception Desk.......................
Chandeliers galore............
The Emperor in his chair.....................on reflection!!
Night Transport on the Tram Trolley.........
The hustle and bustle of down town Hong Kong......
Lots of weddings taking place today - we had hoped to dine in the Spring Moon Restaurant however it was entirely booked out by the wedding party...............
Rolls anyone?...........
Here's my other car!
The dancing fountain of welcome...............
A day time view...........
Wishing the Bride and Groom every happiness in the year of the Tiger.I have always wanted to dine at the Peninsular so for me it was a dream come true!
Bye for now,
James.

Wow James lovely night shots of Hong Kong.
Eunice & Paul
Wow once again James. What magnificent photos.
You looked rather regal sitting in the emperor chair !!
So are you a rolls or a mini man? Rolls have never done it for me I have to say! Big isn't always beautiful. You know what they say don't you James. Nice things come in small packages. Well that's what I always tell myself as I'm only diddy myself (lol) ;-0)
Was it quite chilly in Hong Kong even though it is lovely and clear and the sun is shining? Just looking at the bride with the fir stole on :-)
Well it was positively balmy here today - the highs were 11c! Bit nippy again now though this evening. Whilst I've been out today the itineraries are out for 2011. Well I just don't know where to start. I see the lovely Arcadia is doing Xmas again to the caribbean. But QM2 is also doing a 29 night Xmas and New Year cruise that stops in New York there and on the way back! I have to say the itinerary is awesome and I may just have to defect for 2011!!!!! Other alternatives are the longer caribbean cruises, but not sure Tom could get that long off work. I'd also like to do the USA and Canada cruise again. Maybe not go away at Xmas at all in 2011 and just go there in either late Aug or Sept.
Certainly plenty there for me to bore Tom with!!!!!
How was Vietnam?
