Hong Kong

The view from Kowloon

Only had two days in Hong Kong, just a stop over on my way to Japan, but the place was really good.  I managed to get to the harbour where all the stars have their names on the footpath and up to the Peak of Hong Kong Island.  The Peak tram was really steep and I must admit I had to take my time with it, but thanks to a couple I met on the tram I felt quite safe and had a lovely day.  The views from the top were fantastic.  It was a public holiday too and the Dragon Boat racing was happening at various parts of the islands, unfortunately I didn't make it to see that, but I think it would have been very crowded to say the least.

Travelled back to Kowloon on the 'Star Ferry', again you get really great views of the docks and all  the sky scrapers.  Amazing to think how many people there are living and working in this group of Islands.
