St. Helen’s Bay Golf Resort, Kilrane, Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford, Ireland

We arrived on July 09, 2009 in Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford, Ireland for a golf vacation.

We stayed for two nights at St. Helen’s Bay Golf Resort in Kilrane, Rosslare Harbour, Co. Wexford, Ireland but we did not play golf right away.

The next day, we played golf at St. Helen’s Bay Golf and Country Club from 8:38 a.m. until just after 11:51 a.m. We finished playing golf before 12 noon just before it rained heavily.

The next day, we left St. Helen’s Bay Golf Resort and went to Dublin!

Hong Kong International Airport, Chek Lap Kok Island, Hong Kong

It was on May 31, 2009 when we flew from Hong Kong back to Zurich via Paris with Air France. The plane took off at 10:33 a.m. instead of 10:20 a.m. which was the estimated time of departure from the Hong Kong International Airport.

The Hong Kong International Airport was the central project of the Hong Kong Airport Core Programme which was organized by the Hong Kong government during the 1990s.

Hong Kong International Airport is known as Chek Lap Kok Airport because it was built on the island of Chek Lap Kok which is connected to Tung Chung in Lantau Island by North Lantau Highway on the north and Chek Lap Kok S Road on the south.

Hong Kong International Airport is also called Chek Lap Kok Airport so to distinguish it from the old Kai Tak Airport.

Hong Kong International Airport is one of the international airports that I really like aside from Changi Airport in Singapore, Zurich Airport in Switzerland, and Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands.

Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine, Central, Hong Kong

We left Macau at past 5:00 p.m. after our Macau Day Tour. We arrived in Hong Kong at past 6:00 p.m. already as the traveling time with TurboJet fast ferry boat took only an hour from Macau to Hong Kong.

We decided to have dinner at Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine near Lan Kwai Fong in Central, Hong Kong as we were anyway around the area already.

Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine is located at 88-90 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong near Lan Kwai Fong. The Vietnamese restaurant was not that big so we waited a little bit for our table because there were a lot of people eating in the restaurant.

Thanks goodness that even if we did not have a reservation we got accommodated. Nha Trang Vietnamese Restaurant was almost fully booked. It was definitely not a fast food but people come and go like it was one.

I certainly would recommend Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine if you happen to be around Lan Kwai Fong in Central, Hong Kong.
