Report by John

On the 2nd Sunday in May 2013, I visited Stanley again. It was a rainy day and this time we first visited the Correctional Services Museum.

Although it is small, it records the full history of jails in Hong Kong since the 19th century. I believe it is a good reminder to us not to commit a crime, any time, anywhere.

After staying there for 30 minutes, we proceeded to Stanley Market.  This is a very famous and crowded tourist attraction.  A tip to foreign visitors: the products there are not good value-for-money.

We arrived at the Saffron Bakery Cafe around 3pm.

The EM pinball - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (Bally 1975) - was unchanged since my last visit in April. It was still HK$20 (US$2.60, €1.93) for two 5-ball games, and its condition was satisfactory.

The only difference from the last visit was that it was very hot in the cafe.  I played this pinball for two hours until I became totally wet.

Finally, I gifted all of my credits to two pretty little girls, since they had been waiting some time for their turn . Surprisingly, they are also good pinball players.

The fun day ended at 5pm, when we returned home for our home-made dinner. (^o^)
