Hong Kong

Yep, so I fell a bit behind in updates to put it mildly (as I write this from home)…Will post a series of smaller updates, showing our stops in Hong Kong and China over the final three weeks.

We spent essentially two days in Hong Kong, it was quite the contrast to small / laid back Luang Prabang, but a fun and welcome change. Our first day we went to the Peak to get a view over the city, but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us. Brief snippets of seeing the city that quickly disappeared in the fog. From there we ventured outside the city to see the Giant Buddha, which was beautiful and fun. On our second day we decided to hit an amusement park, Ocean Park, which proved to be far less crowded than feared on a weekend, and was a great change of pace for everyone. Then a ferry over to Discovery Bay to see Dave Kurtz, a friend from Middlesex, who lives there. Fun to see him and to get a glimpse into expat life.

Too short a time here, but fun and memorable nonetheless.

The Peak: tram ride up, not quite the views we were hoping for!
