THE SLIGHT DELAY IS BECAUSE I COULD NOT TRANSLATE FROM THE CHINESE!!!!

Arrived

The flight was smooth here this is the first chance we have had to add to the blog. Here in Hong Kong today Sunday is very misty and you can hardly see the tops of some buildings. We had a quick wander around Causeway Bay in the early evening and as we were still tired from the flight we had an early night.

The first full day

We spent the day going on a double decker bus to Stanley where there is a very nice market. I almost bought a Rolex watch but decided that it was not genuine when the guy wanted me to go down a back alley and it was only going to cost about £40.

We then went onto Aberdeen which was a bit disappointing except for the houseboats in the harbour clustered together.

Later in the afternoon we went off to Victoria Peak using the Peak Tram. We would have had superb views across the harbour towards Kowloon except for the mist which meant we could only see about 2 feet in front of you.

The early evening we went up the Mid-Levels escalator which took 15 minutes from the bottom to the top. What goes up must come down so we had to walk all the way down. By then we were so tired from all the walking and decided to have another reasonably early night.
