Hong Kong in a Day

We awoke not very early at all, but then again neither of us have any idea what day it is, never mind what time. But there's lots of excitement at the prospect of exploring the most densely populated square kilometre on earth.

After a quick heart-starter in the hotel coffee shop. We hitch up our day packs and head into the Central district.

Hong Kong doesn't feel as busy as it should, and everyone is fairly polite considering how many people there are. Princes St. shoppers could take a few pointers from the Chinese.

We head up the 'central escalator' which takes you from water level halfway up the 'Peak'. It's an a ce way to shift people up the imposing hill that the city is built on, and gives a good snapshot of its heart.

After a bite to eat, and an excellent shot of our highly recommended jetlag cure 'Frozen Margaritas', we head off to the 'Peak Tram'. This is obligatory when you only have one day in Hong Kong.


As we should have predicted, one day in Hong Kong is not nearly enough, and its definitely ear-marked for another visit.
Anyhoo, off to the antipodes tomorrow morning.
