Day 1 of my trip has officially started. Today I went on a tour called the land between tour. Wasn't really sure wot to expect and was a bit nervous too but it turned out to be a great day :) weather has been really hot but very cloudy!!
Went to lots of different parts of hong kong including Yuen Yuen, tai mo Shan, lam tsuen valley, fanling village, luk keng, brides pool falls (supposedly haunted!!), plover cove, Sam mon tsai fishing village and sha tin. Got to see a lot of the "real" hong kong and not just the high rise buildings and crazy amounts of people in the centre. Some of the houses that they live in were tiny but they were all really happy. Saw a little cute girl who came out to say hi :)
While on the tour I made friends with two of the ladies. They were from Wales and really nice :) I mentioned I was gonna go up to the peak after the tour and they wanted to go to so we all went together :)
The peak was amazing... Ferry over to hong kong island...shuttle bus to the peak tram and tram up to the peak. Note to self...never stand on the tram... It was so steep I thought I was gonna role down the tram!! SCARY!
Walked around the peak n the shops. Had a coffee n cake overlooking an amazin view n waited for it to go dark so could see all the lights go on. It's one of those of places you could just sit n stare for hours!! :) def recommend it.
Headed back to the hotel on my own as the other ladies were staying on the island. Seemed to make it back ok although I was told I could walk it back to my hotel which was so not true!!! Ended up in a taxi after I realised I had no idea where I was lol!!
One tip if u ever come here...carry lots of change...buses n ferries don't give change at all n wen ure trying to pay a 2dollar fare with a 100 dollar note...doesnt quite work lol or if Ure here for a while get their equivalent of an oyster card!
Ok off to bed for me. Macau island tomorrow :)
