There had been a storm which took all the sand away, so they were in the arduous process of trucking sand in and then spreading it out. This went on from 9pm to 6am each night. Each morning we could see the sand (presumably what had been spread out the just hours earlier) washing around in the surf. JV mentioned they should be perhaps looking at a dredge, We think they must have been listening... the morning of our departure a dredge was just sitting a few hundred metres off shore.
There were 2 of these big tippers bringing the sand.

Looks nice and comfortable after a long flightWe are staying overnight in HKG at the Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott adjacent to the airport.
There is a shuttle from the airport to the hotel a short distance away. As you exit from Immigration/customs, you head to the right and after a short walk towards the end of the terminal there are a number of hotel desks on your left. We book our seats on the next bus, but as a Platinum we are soon paged and provided with a private car and driver; very nice.
Of course, being back in Asia, the hospitality is exceptional and the room very nice:
