William Le Couteur's Blog: Hong Kong subway trips
http://williamlecouteursblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/hong-kong-subway-trips.html
William Le Couteur's Blog. Saturday, September 28, 2013. Hong Kong subway trips. Bead shopping in Hong Kong. I was not looking forward to this, but it turned out a bit of a touristy type of exercise. First find out where to go via the Internet. It appears to be an area about 6 km north of our hotel, conveniently close to the subway line. We bought two Octopus cards, similar to. London's Oyster Card. The subway is clean, fast, and very efficient. We return to New Zealand next Monday. Me on a good day!

William Le Couteur's Blog: From Italy to Germany to Hong Kong
http://williamlecouteursblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/from-italy-to-germany-to-hong-kong.html
William Le Couteur's Blog. Saturday, September 28, 2013. From Italy to Germany to Hong Kong. Riomaggiore. We were going to give this a miss, but decided to make the effort. The previous day while swimming, I got stung by a jelly fish, which knocked the chrome off the snorkelling. The next day, I was careful to look where I was going, spotted him, so no stings. Much long waiting around and we got on board our plane to Frankfurt. We walked towards the city centre, and came across a brand new shopping mall,...

William Le Couteur's Blog: The Italian Railway Experience
http://williamlecouteursblog.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-italian-railway-experience.html
William Le Couteur's Blog. Thursday, October 3, 2013. The Italian Railway Experience. What you need to know about Italian trains:. 1 Buying a ticket and just having it is not good enough. Once you buy your ticket, look for a small box that says something like ticket validation. Insert your ticket and once inserted, move it to the left. You might get away with not doing this, but if they catch you, expect to fork out 52 Euros. 2 How to find out where you are going and which stations does the train stop at?

William Le Couteur's Blog. Sunday, November 1, 2009. Running and all that. Well it's over. The Adidas Half Marathon that is. About a month ago I managed to run 21k more or less continuously. Just to prove I could do it twice, I tried again the following weekend. I only managed 13K-due to some ligament that runs from the knee to the top of the leg complaining bitterly. Just to be clever (? Like running on air compared to the old ones, which were just sneakers. It was walking fron there on. It was quit...

William Le Couteur's Blog. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Here it is: at the end of a 6 week course of exercise and diet called "Body Revolution", I have just celebrated by having 2 glasses of wine and an icecream! This program was put on by the company I'm working for - even me as a lowly contractor! All that was involved was 2 gym sessions per week and advice on diet. I started out at about 100.7kg and now I am 97.7kg (with shoes and shorts and tee shirt! That makes a 3kg loss. 2 sticks of celery.

William Le Couteur's Blog. Saturday, December 27, 2014. Travel Blog from 2000 .Phoenix, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. For Robbie mainly, and anyone else who does not have a life outside of a computer. This is what might be called a reverse blog, ie going back in time some 14 years. I was talking to my friend Robbie about our trip to the USA in the year 2000, and looking in a drawer, I found a trip diary, written by hand. So here you go Rob, all translated to be readable , ie not in my handwriting! Luckily t...

William Le Couteur's Blog. Saturday, October 25, 2014. Radiance of the Seas. I consider we were very lucky to have been able to go on this. A year ago, we were booked on one to go from Venice to Turkey, but I was unable to get on the ship for medical reasons. Getting on board was relatively painless, only a 20 minute wait. Your first impression is of a luxury hotel, not a ship. It has a large atrium right in the centre of the ship, which runs from Level 4 right up to level 10 (I think! This is the main a...
