Ni Hao!!
Arrived in Hong Kong in the early hours this morning, could just make out the tall buildings through the mist/haze or urban pollution as I think they may call it!
Got to the hotel quite easily by 7am sadly they didnt have a spare room for us to check in so we left our rucksacks and headed out into the streets of Kowloon!
Just like the clips from a Jacky Chan movie! The very muscley men all top-less (of the older generation so don't get excited people!) shouting away to eachother lugging boxes or veggies or even pigs, chicken and some other animals I don't think I want to know what they were! Streets packed with people and cars and its hardly 7am!! Couldn't believe all the hustle and buslte going on all around us! Then the heavens opened just as we ran into Startbucks - life saver! Made our cuppa's last nearly 2 hours! Dandered round the shops but none of them were open till 10am, so headed back and got checked in atlast!
After a few hours sleep we were hungry and feeling brave ventured out in the down pour to find somewhere for dinner! Had a lovely chicken, veg and noodle combo - v tasty! Then with the help of our phrase book handed some washing over to the chinese laundry - just like in Aladdin in the panto! hehe!
Booked onto a tour tomorrow so hope the sky dries up!
Thats all folks! Till next time!
