Hiya Peeps,
After a bumpy flight we landed in Hong Kong and got the Airbus to our compact apartment on Hong Kong Island. We set off the next day and stumbled across the Hong Kong Flower Show 2009 (Lucky us!), they certainly like their Orchids! We wandered around Causeway Bay then made our way up to the Peak Tram which is where you can see over all of Hong Kong. Over the next couple of days we clocked up around 10miles walking, we also managed to squeeze in the temple street night market which Laura enjoyed.
We made our way to Macau to make our fortune....$30 to be precise!!! We stayed in what can only be described as a hell hole for the 1st night (I will post a video shortly).
Over the next few days we looked at the forts, temples & cathedrals by day and at night made our way to the huge casinos (most are identical replicas from Vegas).
Our second night accommodation was very nice but before we found the hotel i was 'unknowingly' offered a room in a brothel but i had to pay extra for Laura to stay!
We came back to Hong Kong and stayed on Kowloon which is a little more lower class than the rest of Hong Kong but the rooms are loads cheaper and still liveable (unlike the one in Macau)
Last night we celebrated my birthday 2days early as were flying to Beijing on the 20th. We headed up to the peak tram again, at night this time to capture some of the amazing views. We then came back down and went out for an Indian meal.
