Way hay we are back on line!!! You would have thought with a place like Hong Kong we would have no problems with wifi at all oh well we are back!!
I love Hong Kong. It is so diverse. The hotel we are in is good with a lot more room so don't mind spending time in it. The street we are on is "interesting". If you go out the door and turn right the street becomes quite formal with offices and restaurants, if you turn left its "local" restaurants, bars with british football louts singing till the early morning after the football and clubs where ladies of the night sell their wares. I prefer them to the footy crowd!!
Most of the streets are spotless which surprise us as there are not many bins around. The buildings are awesome. You can walk for mile through centres leading from one to another, Hugh marble halls and walk ways. Out side you walk looking up all the time, at Hugh buildings of coloured glass. Money is every where, Harvy nicks, Prada, Gucci,again large marble shops with more staff than customers, also not just one shop but one in every mall! These malls are so large, with so many floors that you could get lost for DAYS! We don't go into these shops, if we did I would spend a small fortune and when Bev is in a state of involuntary movements he would knock down stands and displays, I would have to work for the rest of my life to pay for repairs!!! LOL!!!
We traveled up the walking stairs to the top of the Island yesterday. We lost count of how many escalator we went on. It was interesting because it went between th blocks of flats, if they didn't keep the curtains closed we could see what they have for dinner, it was that close! I am not sure if we were suffering from "altitude" but we got horribly lost so jumpy on a bus to get down again. We then road the tram to get back to the hotel. Took us 2-3 hours to walk there and 30 minuets to get back!!! Like the tram it's cheap!!!!
In the evening we went across to Kowloom to watch the lazier light show, which having seen it before we were a bit disappointed. However it's one of those things you have to do!!
Bev is on my case to get dressed to go out, even though we agreed we would spend the day around the pool, so must go. (the pool is surrounded by high rise so that will be interesting! Will take pics for FB ).
