Up a Height In Hong Kong
19.11.2004

So far so good. Hong Kong gets better with everyday. Today we went up to 'the peak' via the Tram. It gets to about 27 degrees incline in some places and the floor is scooped so you can attempt to stand up straight as you are dragged up the Mountain by a cable!
The top is tourist city with loads of viewing points and gift shops. The views of the city and the harbour were amazing. It was so good we shelved all our other plans, got something to eat and waited for the sun set which was so good we waited around for night fall. The city looks amazing from the peak and got better as the day wore on with a spectacular night time shot of the skyscrapers filling the sky with light. Sure it's all adverts but still pretty great.
Karen and I are really feeling the jet lag at the moment but we're forcing ourselves out for full days and nights. Last night's meal at the Hong Kong Old Restaurant was lovely but a bit spicy for Karen!
I think that 4 days is going to be about right for our stay. Much better than just continuing straight on to Oz but I'm not sure that there's much to come back for. China or Thailand next time maybe!
