Sad to say ...

And now for that final Blog to close this chapter of my life’s experience.

What I can say without hesitation is that I will always have fond memories the travelling party and those who so graciously received us and looked after us during the tour. Here are a couple of group photo’s and it is clear that we were all having one hell of a good time. There was the dinner at the American Restaurant:

The grand Venetian Casino (main entrance):

And that unforgettable experience in the White Stag with guest appearance from Debbie McGee:

So it was that the tour had to come to an end and it is only fair to take a quick peek at our principle reason for being there in the first place – the mighty Hodge – must have been a good one that’s all I can say:

And just in case you don’t know the chorus to that old Harry Belafonte favourite - all together now:

And I'm sad to say

I'm on my way

Won't be back for many a day

My heart is down

My head is turning around

We had to leave a little girl in Hong Kong town.

That's All Folks!!!!!
