Saturday
What a difference 24 hours can make. Rome now seems so quiet compared to Hong Kong.
There are so many people going in so many
directions. Today was our tourist day. First we went via ferry to the other
side of Hong Kong and caught the Peak Tram to the top of the world or so it
seemed. We had a drink at the top and
took some photos of the views. The view of Hong Kong was like a massive
painting.
From the Peak Tram we walked the longest underground passage
we have ever seen and then caught a train to the cable car. This cable car
seems to go on forever. By the time we got to the top we were up in clouds
again. A quick look around, had some lunch, then back down via the cable car.
We caught the train back to our hotel, did a little more
shopping before the night’s end. The
shops are open until around 10 pm here. The Hong Kong dollar is worth about 1/8
of the Aussie dollar. 2 bottles of water
costs HKD$11 and so is about AUS$1.50 which is quite cheap, especially compared
to the euro. We also find most things
are cheaper here.
Tomorrow we will be off to some apparently famous markets
for a look. Colene said the HKD $ is
much cheaper than the Aus $ so again we will be saving a fortune! Women’s
logic???
