This
was Geoff's first visit to Hong Kong while Bruce was there working.
Geoff was able to tell Bruce all about the territory and its attractions
each evening over wonderful meals, whilst staying at the excellent
Victoria Hotel, with its spectacular views over the harbour. |
|
|
The
hotel was located in the twin towers above, taking up the top half
of the left tower. |
