In August of 2008 .. in the far North of India .. in Ladakh .. on my way South from Kargil to Padam in the Zanskar Valley .. I met THE INCREDIBLE Olinger Family from France ! .. after meeting them in a Guest House en route .. the next day .. as I was hitch hiking .. Clément picked me up on his Royal Enfield MOTORCYCLE and .. with Patricia and their son Merlin on a second Royal Enfield .. off we went down the road !
I have 'met up' with the three of them here in Hong Kong .. after a photo shoot .. we came to their hotel on Lamma Island ..
As I post the below photos .. I AM WITH CLEMENT and PATRICIA and MERLIN on LAMMA ISLAND .. which is a ride of twenty minutes by ferry from HONG KONG CENTRAL ..
Do you all realize that a FRENCH KEYBOARD IS DIFFERENT FROM OURS ! .. I did NOT know this !
So I am posting photos of us on his 'tablet' .. since I am NOT able to do so (post my photos) yet in Hong Kong ..
So here we go .. below we are in front of the Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon .. as we are in all of the below photos ..
A close up of we two ..
And below are Clément and Patricia and Merlin..
And a nice close up ..
Then I 'hailed down' a lady .. from Spain .. she had to be a Castilian ! .. and she was so good in shooting the below photos of us !
Our Spanish Castilian was so good ! .. Nice close up below..
And just one more 'candid photo' I snapped of Clément on Lamma Island !
That will be it for now .. what a joy to have done this post WITH Clément .. Patricia and Merlin kept us company as we did this post .. OH YES ! .. I have more photos of Lamma Island for you when I can post photos ...
