This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Chinese New Year Parade - 1



Brenda and I were graced with an invitation to participate in the Chinese New Year parade through Chinatown as Friends of the Princess TaiPing. We were going from the Year of the Rat to the Year of the Ox.

The first photo shows Brenda and myself in front of our group's parade banner.

The second photo shows the exotic cars lined up to carry important officials and beauty queens.

I had never seen a Chinese dragon in real life so during the preparations for the parade I took the precaution of seeking one out and making friends with him, as you can see in the third and fourth photos.

The bottom two photos show the dragons on the move.
