BBQ

On the first sunday of the year we had a BBQ in the Tai Tam country park just down from Parkview.   It says something for the Hong Kong's climate that its nice to eat outdoors in the middle of winter.

Hong Kong's country parks and beaches have many BBQ areas.  They are quite popular, especially with parties of Aunties who often have the most amazing feasts.

So we thought it was time to give it a go.

This was good fun.  Rika was proud of her fire-making and cooking skills

Hannah enjoyed looking after Minimi and insisted on carrying him for a surprisingly long time.

Shortly after this we got busted by a Park Ranger for bringing Minimi into the park.   Although dog owners can brings their dogs without a leash,  is actually illegal to bring other animals without a permit.   I checked the regulations and cats are indeed specifically forbidden along with goats and sheep.    So until we gets a permit, as the Ranger said, its "no more next time" for Minimi.
