Saturday : sunny
Another late hotel departure this morning. There's so much to do at night here, so we're getting to bed late and sleeping in.
We went for a walk up the main drag called Nathan rd in Kowloon, looking for a coffee shop. We called onto a shopping centre and found nothing but $6 cups of coffee.
We ended up getting coffee and breakfast at another restaurant close to the hotel. This meal was bigger than yesterday's too. We were there for almost an hour.
Afterwards we went walking, which we needed to do after that meal. We walk to central ferry terminal and hopped on the star ferry back to Hong Kong island.
It was a shopping day today, we went to two big malls one mall we caught a 50c train trip to get to. Both unfortunately they were very similar. All designer clothing not really everyday clothes. I know where to come for some nice shoes, shirts or jackets that are cheap.
On the walk back to central we went to Hong Kong park for a walk through. The park had fountains, ponds with heaps of fish and turtles, waterfalls and a walk through Avery. A big tower that you can climb, 105 steps to the top. We got a mid level view of the city, felt like being in a birds nest. The park also had Wifi, something our pricey Hong Kong hotels do not offer.
We stopped off at a shoe store near the station that we went to the other day, and bought some shoes. Kim got some nice everyday shoes and I picked up some Goretex hiking shoes. There wasn't Kims size in the shop, in the style she liked. So the shop assistance went to the warehouse and brought a pair back, what service.
It was a busy walk back from the shops to the station but we made it, and took the train to temple street markets in Mong Kok.
These markets were great, selling items that weren't very same same. They had a great range of different things.Kim picked up some phone covers, and I bought a protective case for my phone.
We took Nathan road back towards Kowloon and stopped in at another shopping centre, I tell ya Hong Kong has a mall on every block so much shopping. Kim was going crazy. We picked up some frozen yoghurt, and ate it in a type of piazza, very yummy. Then we went to another open late super market a got some water for tomorrow.
It was 1am by the time we got back and cleaned up ready for bed. I can predict another late start tomorrow.
