Hong Kong

Day 1

Hong Kong

After a good night’s sleep – catching up after a sleepless night on the plane – we hit the open top Big Bus Company hence enjoying the ‘sights, sounds and smells of this dynamic metropolis’. And how…….! 3 tours in 1 day which included the funicular railway up to The Peak, a sampan ride around Aberdeen harbour, a night route around Kowloon, a sort of view of the laser lights across the harbour and a Star Ferry ride. We are now experts on the history of the island as well as the function for many of the buildings,

Day 2

On a bus again – this time the No 6 from Central to Stanley Market. As stated in the Top 10 Guide Book – Stanley Market is not the best or the cheapest on the island – but it was worth a visit and the bus was certainly worth experiencing.

On returning to the hotel – we had about 10 minutes before our transfer coach appeared. We had yet another journey to the airport via a few hotels in Kowloon thus making the journey long a bit tedious. Things were a bit frugal at the airport as we had only enough Hong Kong dollars to buy a cup of coffee each and a few little biscuits.
