Today we had decided to take onthe Market walkingtour from the trusty lonely planet guide. We started on the MTR (the underground system) to take us under the water to Kowloon. We walked through the flower Market street and then through the goldfish Market area which consisted of shops and stalls selling every colour, shape and size fish you can imagine, it was like being back at the great barrier reef! The bustling Market streets sold souvenirs, clothes, toys...

We arrived in hong kong late last night after a long day travelling (we had to fly down to Sydney to fly to cairns) and checked into our hostel. I knew that everything in hong kong was high rise and nit being the worlds greatest fan of heights I was pleased to see that the address of the hostel was the 3rd floor........that's where reception is, our room is on the 16th floor so I can't open the curtains! The humidity is really quite something here, pretty much...
