The boulder and the beautiful

A Kenyan landmark was yesterday turned into a promotional stage for the Miss Hong Kong pageant.

The contestants posed in bikinis beside the foaming waters of the 72-metre Thomson's Falls as part of a publicity filming mission ahead of the August competition. Pageant organisers sent the contestants to the East African nation on Saturday.

The six-day trip has also included a visit to a giraffe centre. They are expected to view more wildlife at Lake Nakuru, where tens of thousands of flamingoes fringe the shores.
