After probably one of the longest days in my life we are at our final destination of the trip. Hong Kong. Honestly if you have to get a flight of any kind DO NOT DRINK the night before!!!!
Everyone said to me before we came here use the MTR it is soooo easy!! Well yes it is however not when you have just arrived have only a rough idea of where you're going, are hung over and have two suitcases! We made it to our hotel ok it was just a little bit of a mission with so much stuff and being so tired.
After the trauma of the MTR last night we tried again today with only ourselves to worry about and yes everyone you are right!! It is very easy to use and gets you to everywhere you want to go on time. (Not at all like the London underground!)
Today we got the star ferry over to Hong Kong Island from where we are staying in Kowloon at the ferry terminal we spotted an original tour bus, we had such a great time hopping on and hopping off in Singapore that we decided we would use the service again. So we hopped on and took the city tour, half way round we hopped off and took a tram (included in the bus price!) up to Victoria Peak. From this peak you can get 360 degree views of all the islands that make up Hong Kong. It was pretty impressive, we spent a while up there exploring and well yes we did some shopping to. Come on we are females after all :-)
After a rest back at the hotel we took the MTR up a station to investigate Temple Street Market. The Chinese aren't so much fun at haggling but we did get a couple of items a few dollars cheaper.
Off on our first pre-booked tour in the morning. Pink dolphin watching, I hope we see a few!
