<p>One of the things we most wanted to see in Hong Kong was the evening light show over Victoria Harbor. It looked fantastic. We arrived early, found a good spot, and waited, and then we waited some more, and more. After an hour with no light show we decided to bag it and go back to the room. We did a Google search and learned that after about 30 years, the Hong Kong government permanently shut down the show two nights earlier. Two flipping nights - grrrrrr!</p>

<p>Ljubljana Cathedral, officially named Saint Nicholas's Church and unofficially named Saint Nicholas's Cathedral, was a Gothic church. In 1700, at the initiative of Dean Johann Gregor Thalnitscher (Dolničar) and the Academia Operosorum Labacensium, the Capuchin friar Florentianus Ponnensis from Milan or Bologna designed a new Baroque hall church. The following year, after the construction already started, the plan was revised and complemented by the Jesuit architect Andrea Pozzo who designed it as a basilica and added a dome. He did not supervise the plan’s implementation; thus the buildings were significantly adapted by the builders, in particular by Francesco Bombassi of Venice. The two belfries, resembling those of the Salzburg Cathedral, were added by the plan by Lombard Giulio Quaglio. The construction took place between 1701 and 1706. It was led by Francesco Bombasi, who already after a few months replaced the unreliable Francesco Feratta, and Mihael Zamerl. The master builder was Pavel Jugovic, and after his death in March 1704, Gregor Maček, Sr. The construction was completed in 1706, and the first worship took place in the new building in August 1706.<br />
<br />
The entrances have bronze sculptured doors from 1996, created at the 1250s anniversary of Christianity in the Slovenian territory and the visit of Pope John Paul II. The front door, now named the Slovene Door, bears a relief by Tone Demšar with a depiction of Slovene history to commemorate the 1250th anniversary of Christianity in Slovenia. The side door, now named the Ljubljana Door, was redesigned by Mirsad Begić, who decorated them with portraits of the 20th-century bishops of Ljubljana.</p>

<p>Heather isn't much of a museum person so she opted to go exploring and shopping. She told me to go check out the Hong Kong Museum of Art. That worked for me. The Hong Kong Museum of Art is in a beautiful building in a stunning waterfront location. It was a different kind of museum - not many paintings but a lot of cool and interesting exhibitions - fans, calligraphy, moveable art, and some other stuff. Not a bad way to spend an hour or two.</p>
