Hong Kong
Have you had to haul out your map yet to track our travels? We are now checked in at the Holiday Inn in Hong Kong. A city of high rises. More to come...
Phew. Back in for the night. One of the Singaporeans that we are travelling with used to work here as a banker and speaks Cantonese. Lucky for us.
We took transit into downtown and then went to "The Peak". A little like Grouse Mountain. Involves a tram ride up a mountainside and gives you a glorious view of the city. But it was us and 100,000 others. Took us 2 hours of lineup to get up and once up, it was crawling with people. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Another big, bustling, crowded city but definitely 1st world. The skyline up there is amazing. You can google it. This city is Vancouver on steroids.
Well, by the time we got to the top, we were starving. Where did we eat but Burger King! Everything else would have broken our bank.
What a ride John and I are on. We will be here for 2 days.
