Here we are in Bangkok and not one word of Hong Kong on the blog! We hit the streets of Hong Kong running. The arrivals hall was something else, huge, clean and tidy. With the formalities done it was off to the Airport express train, this was efficiency we do not know, free shuttle service to the hotel, check in and off to explore, first stop was to find umbrellas, the rain was coming down in buckets not only did we find brollies but good affordable wine 2 one litre bottles for HK$96 (get it later).
Nathan Road here we come, Brand name shops, Jewellery shops you name it can be found here. After walking the full length of the road back to the hotel, round the corner to get the wine, bags up to the room, catch our breath, a bit of rest, no sleep the night before on the flight, then off to the 'ladies market', a light meal at the market and dragged our weary bodies to bed at close to midnight!
Sunday dawned with rain, tough we are going on the Big Bus tour, a 48 hour ticket gives us 4 tours, the Peak tram and the Star Ferry. Kowloon (blue route) to start the day's travel,there are 2.7 million people living in 47 square kilometers!!! With an average age of 82 years!!!
That afternoon we went to Stanley market (green route). The Dragon boat races were being held there with teams from all over, did not see any SA teams!
