Travel, life, loves and laughs.
The Hindu festival of colors, Holi, is a spring harvest festival celebrating the triumph of good over evil. It can also symbolize love, forgiveness and new life.

It is Nour’s birthday and Melissa has been at it again, organizing us for a night of celebrations. Tonight we head back to Asia Asia and in celebration of love and friendship we are ladies in red.

A bit of a late night out on the Star Ferry exploring last night sets us back in getting out the door again this morning. Luckily the Hong Kong metro is efficient and we arrive at Ocean Park from our apartment in Causeway Bay in about half an hour, virtually no time!… Read the rest
