Up extra early as we were booked onto a Dim Sum experience. We and a Aussie girl met our tour guide and were taken for an authentic HK breakfast. There was no way we could have done this without a local. The place was up a side street, nothing was in English and it was heaving with locals who seemed to think we were a nuisance. First there was lashings of compulsory green tea (Yvonne hated the stuff) then a succession of little dishes the only one most Brits would recognise was the spring rolls. The shrimp dumplings were our favourite together with a sponge cake that arrived mid way through and was followed by more savoury surprises. All very confusing and extremely filling.
After a break watching ferry boats with a cider for David and a coffee for Yvonne to counteract the endless green tea, we went to the Police Married Quarters. No criminal activities, the building has been converted to a creatives hub and they were having a food truck festival. We couldn't manage any food but Yvonne was interested in the shops. David so interested he fell asleep blaming the early start, massive breakfast and tropical heat or he's a trainee old man.
Off to watch the lights come on over Hong Kong, took the peak tram or rather eventually took the tram. Queue was truly outstanding at about 1.5 hours to get up there. View was something else and our hike around the top of the hill in the dark was unforgettable. Lots of strange wildlife noises and sheer drops. Back via the bus as we couldn't face queueing for the tram again despite having a return ticket and David was on a promise of cheap beer at the local until 9pm.
Finished the night in Hay Hay restaurant our local Chinese which was full of locals then off to club 7-11 for the end of the night.
