Hello everyone,
So we got it wrong. Not flying Saturday but Sunday eve so got an extra night!!!!!!!! We came to the Island of Lantau today for a change. It is Hong Kongs's Dorset. Lots of countryside- very nice. Fresh air and quieter. We went to the Big Budda (picture). It is amazing- so so so big. We wanted to stay in a hostel about 10 min walk away from Budda but it was full so we have got Gondola down to the centre of Lantau where we are at present trying to find a hostel- not looking good- may have to be a hotel!!!! View from Gondola was fantastic, rivers, mountains- really nice.
Went up Peak tram again last night and got some really nice night photo's. Got tram down as well as our legs still hurt from walking down the other day (so steep).
Temple was good- busy as it is Chinese New year next week and lots of people go and light insence and pray. Quite smelly actually!
Had Dim Sum in a restaurent that was recomended in the book. It was nice. We had pork and prawns in our Dim Sum (think they usually eat for breakfast) (Gordon Ramsey made them on F word once if anyone remembers).
Went on Tram- was like a bus but smoother and had it's own track to no stupid cars got in the way!!!!
Weather a lot colder and windy today especially at the top where the budda is. Glad we brought our coats- i'm also wearing my wooly hat!!!!
Right off to check in a hotel- we might be back in 6 months at this rate!!!!!!! Only kidding we have parents!!!!!!!!!
Lots of love xxxxxx
