Day 2 in Hong Kong

 Another full on day being right tourist on the wonderful Hong Kong hop on hop off bus. We took the Green line out to south part of Hong Kong Island, first stop: Aberdeen and took the Sampan boat ride around the famous Jumbo Floating Restaurant, then back on the bus pasting through the beautiful Ocean Park Bay area (Chester you would love this beach, saw lots of Surf Skis and OC1's), then stopped off at Stanley and had a look around the Stanley Street market and had lunch on the waterfront.

 Since it was Saturday, everyone was out and about, so the bus trip back was slow due to traffic, but was ok as it was great to see the different suburbs of Hong Kong Island. We then took the Tram up to the peak look out as it was reasonably clear today ... man that is one steep hill, makes the Wellington Cable Car trip seem rather mild.

We also past a bar in Sheung Wan where we saw a big screen TV showing the first All Black game  ... fingers crossed the AB's won!

We then took the night tour of the hop on hop off bus over to Kowloon, which is slightly different to Hong Kong Island ... lots of bright lights, heaps more people and lots of traffic.

We then ended up back on the waterfront in time to watch the wonderful Symphony of Lights show ... wow!

Finally we took the ferry back to Hong Kong island and made our way back to one of AJ's favourite restaurant, the Chilli Club ... great tip AJ the food was awesome, but we ate too much!

Hong Kong is a pretty clean city for the number of people who live here, it is also very safe and the MTR or subway system is just brilliant ... but gosh they love their designer labels.

Tomorrow (Sunday) is our last day in Hong Kong and our check out time is not until 12 noon, we have a few things to see tomorrow, but will pace ourselves as we have a 12.5 hour flight overnight to Munich and then another 1 hour 10 minute flight to Venice ... arrh Italy, here we come!

We hope all is well with you all back in NZ and that it is warming up.
